Mentor Service Guidelines & Instructions
When using the online mentor service, please follow all the guidelines set forth below.
1. You'll be shown a list of potential mentors. Simply click on the mentor link of your choice. This opens an e-mail to the mentor, at which point you can send an introductory question to the mentor.
2. Any future communication will be directly between you and the mentor via personal e-mail (not through this Web site).
3. Do not abuse this valuable service by overwhelming your mentor with e-mail. Our mentors are all professional, working writers with limited time to volunteer. You'll receive a more useful response if your questions are selective and to the point.
4. The mentor may continue the process however he or she sees fit. If a mentor ends communication at any point, you must respect and accept this.
5. Do not send scripts, treatments or other documents to a mentor unless you receive prior consent to do so. (Remember, before you give your work to anyone, it's a good idea to register your material with the Writers Guild. For information, click the link for "Script Registration" in the navigation bar, left.)
