MRCentral / Magic Carpet Ride Mentorship / Seeks Applicants 

MRCentral, an interactive online venue for the Magic Realism community, is now accepting applications to the 2nd Annual Magic Carpet Ride Mentorship.

The purpose of the Magic Carpet Ride mentorship is to assist a promising magical realist writer from anywhere in the world in the completion of a polished manuscript by the end of the session which can then be actively submitted to potential publishers.

The winning applicant ('apprentice') will enjoy one-on-one interaction with Tamara Kaye Sellman, professional editor, creative writing coach, and founding editor of Margin, the world's only anthology devoted to literary magical realism, and Periphery.Online, a magical realist zine.

The Magic Carpet Ride mentorship commences the first full week in January of every year and progresses for 16 weeks. During that 4-month period, the apprentice will receive 40 hours of professional assistance in completing their magical realist novel.

Fees:
-$40 for MRCentral members.
