Offered: Three Month Mentorship with the Evil League of Evil Writers Spot #2


What You Are Bidding On:

A three month mentorship (not membership) with the Evil League of Evil Writers for writers.

Description:

This mentorship includes: emails regarding your laughable writing goals and woeful ambitions, weekly check-in emails to discuss your progress or lack thereof, a monthly chapter critique of your latest piece of…er…work in progress, discussion/questions addressed regarding the publishing industry (not including self-publishing), and copious amounts of discouragement and harsh criticism.

You do not get to choose which members of the ELEW mentor you (however, the genre you write will be taken into consideration). Rest assured, we are ALL evil.

What? You do realize you're bidding on mentorship from the Evil League of Evil Writers, right?

Our mission statement: 

The Evil League of Evil Writers does not support whining, crying, sniveling, whimpering or bawling about writing, publishing or any aspect thereof. If you're looking for a shoulder to cry on or a sympathetic ear about the rejection letter you've gotten from a literary agent, or a bad review of your work, you will not find it here. 

The ELEW strives to foster realism and toughness amongst the writing community. The ELEW teaches coping skills and eviltry to writers both seasoned and new. Speshul snoflakes [sic] will be mocked, laughed at, and stabbed with sharp objects before being kicked in their butt-hurt rears. But we like pie. 

We might fake sympathy if you bring us pie. Really good pie. 

NOTE: 

Pie not included in this auction. Get your own.

Minimum Bid: 

$25

Geographical Restrictions: 

None

How to Bid:

In the comment section, leave a message with the amount you are bidding. We ask that you pledge in whole dollar increments ($1, $5, etc), and in US funds. Remember to only bid what you'll be able to commit to.

Bidding is open until February 15, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m. EST) so check back on your favorite auctions and bid often!

When the auction has closed, we'll email you about your winning status.

    Please help me.

  2. I am tired of crit partners who are too nice. If I wanted nice I'd have mom edit it. I need EVIL. Shred it. Murder it. Put on your stompy boots and make like Godzilla on holiday in Tokyo. DON'T PULL PUNCHES.
