As may be seen from the tumbleweed blowing through the blog section of my website, I've been too busy trying to wrap up my SciFi trilogy to do much blogging. Or any blogging. But now, with the concluding volume The Long Forever all done and dusted and on its way to the printers, I've temporarily run out of excuses. 

So today I'd like to restart my blog with news of the exciting new #WriteMentor initiative that I've signed up for. Brainchild of the remarkably industrious Stuart White - member of The Scribblers writing group and regular blogger at thescribblersonline.com/ - #WriteMentor aims to hook up currently unagented writers of MG/YA with agented and/or published author-mentors like myself. 

As a #WriteMentor, I'm offering to help one qualifying 'mentee' with their query package, namely a synopsis, query letter and the first three chapters. See www.stuartwhitewriting.com/mentoring and www.stuartwhitewriting.com/eugene-lambert for the full details, including exciting opportunities for an agent showcase at the end of the mentoring programme.

PS. I wanted to call us #DeMentors but Stuart said that might give the wrong impression!
