Mentorship
Helping Young Minds Succeed
We aim to support and empower children as they go through their literary journey, from the initial outline to the final polished publication. Welcome to Zoe Lanna Ink: a place for young authors looking to bring their literary dreams to life!
Authorship Mentoring
Does your child have an idea they want to write about but don’t know how to get started? It happens all the time that a child has an idea about wanting to write their first book, but when they sit down to write, they don’t know where to start. Writing is not just a talent; it is a skill that has to be learned.
Let us help you partner with other parents and children who’ve already been through the process, so that your child can learn helpful writing techniques like:
- Pre-Planning
- Get Familiar with your Genre
- Journaling & Inspiration Boarding
- Tropes, Archetypes, and Literary Devices
- Experimentation
- Planning Your Story
- Identify your Themes
- Brainstorming
- Mood Boarding
- Worldbuilding
- Character Profiles
- Character Development Planning
- Mind Map Connected Ideas
- Plot Development & Planning
- Outline your Plot
- Research Your Unknowns
- Writing Your Story
- Using your Outline
- Create a Routine & Practice Discipline
- Goal Setting
- Getting Past Self-Criticism
- Getting Comfortable with Starting Over
- Revision and Editing
- What to look for when draft reading
- Using Beta Readers
- When and Why to use an Editor
- Things to Consider when Formatting for Print
Publication Mentoring
Has your child written a book, and wants to get published? Sounds like easy enough of a task at first, but as you start to explore the complex world of publication, it is easy to find yourself coming across questions faster than you can find the answers:
- How do you register and run a company for your child?
- What laws and regulations do you need to watch out for?
- How do you edit and format their manuscript to get it ready for print?
- What steps do you need to take before you start printing to prepare for a successful launch?
- How do you market your book once it is printed?
- How do you track your inventory, income, and expenses?
While most publishers just want to trade you books for money, we want to help empower young authors and their parents with the tools it takes to become a success. Contact us if you would like to be paired with other parents and children who’ve already been through the process, or if you would like to become Mentor yourself.
