I’m honored to be one of the International Armenian Literary Alliance’s 2023 Mentees and thrilled to have the brilliant insights and creative suggestions from my mentor, the talented author and artist Dana Walrath. I hope to give back to aspiring writers in the same way, one day. Proud to be part of this awesome group of writers, poets and creatives.
This year, IALA celebrates a record number of talented and diverse writers who were selected as mentees for our third mentorship program, which will run until August 31st, 2023. We received many applications from around the world, and are excited to welcome writers from Artsakh, Armenia, Europe and North America working on novels, short stories, poetry and, for the first year, literary translation!
