The Adroit Journal Summer Mentorship Program
Program · The Adroit Journal · Online
Online mentorship pairing young writers with established poets and prose writers.
Our take
One-on-one with a published writer, online, low cost with waivers. Best value in youth writing.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
