We launched the Peter LaBerge Scholarship Fund to make Adroit’s Summer Mentorship Program more accessible to young writers.

No one knows the Mentorship Program better than its mentees, so we asked them to tell us about the impact it had on their writing journeys. Here’s Mentorship alum Hana Widerman. 📚

In order to double our scholarship capacity for the next cycle of the program, we need to raise $10,000 by June 30. Visit the link in our bio to learn more and donate!
