Aurora Public Library’s Muse Mentorship, started and mentored by Aurora Poet Laureate Ahja Fox, aims to support writers through one-on-one meetings as a means to work towards the mentee’s writing goals. Through one-on-one meetings, 8 to 10 depending on the mentee's project and needs, the recipient will learn, work and grow from their interactions and the spaces in-between!

Muse Mentorship is FREE of charge and is available to those 15 and over. Read about the first Muse mentee.

The application is open now and always! The program runs on a constant cycle which means you are always in the running to be a recipient.
