If you applied to the QND Creative Mentoring programme but haven’t heard from us, please read this.

Thank you for taking the time to apply for the QND Creative Mentoring scheme. We received over 100 applications and the quality was incredibly high. Choosing just six mentees wasn't easy!

Due to a technical error at our end, some applications were taken without email contacts. We managed to track down most of the missing email addresses, but unfortunately there were a few we were unable to find.

We apologise to those who have not received any news from us regarding the outcome of their application. We want to assure you that all applications were considered equally, and none were excluded if they did not have an email. However, all applicants chosen for the mentoring scheme have now been contacted, so if you haven't heard from us, unfortunately you haven't been selected this time.

Once again, we sincerely apologise to anyone who hasn't received a response - feel free to email us at hello@mainspringarts.org.uk if you have any questions.

We hope you’ll keep an eye on Mainspring Arts and Queer Neurodivergent Writer's Network opportunities in the future, and encourage you to apply again.

Thank you for your time, energy and interest in QND Creative Mentoring. We wish we you all the success with your creative pursuits and hope to see you at a QND writing meet up soon!
