The Latinx in Publishing Writers Mentorship Program is a volunteer-based initiative that offers the opportunity for unpublished and/or unagented writers who identify as Latinx (mentees) to strengthen their craft, gain first-hand industry knowledge, and expand their professional connections through work with experienced published authors (mentors).
In case you missed it, LxP streamed a live reading event on November 4th, 2021, with this year’s talented class of mentees. Agents and publishers, take note! You can view the reading here.
