Are you working on a manuscript and feeling stuck? Do you want honest feedback, practical support, and the guidance to finally bring your book to life?

I’m launching a six-month mentorship programme designed for writers who are serious about their projects and ready to take the next step.

Over the course of half a year, you’ll receive a balance of critique, guidance, and accountability—tailored to your needs and goals.

Four Tiers of Mentorship

To make the programme accessible to writers at different stages, I offer four levels of support:

Tier 1: Short story/novella

(up to 30k words)

RM500

• Full read
• Editorial letter
• 3 discussion sessions (online or in person) over six months
• Follow-up critique of revisions.

Tier 2: Short novel

(up to 60k words)

RM800

• Full read
• Editorial letter
• 4 discussion sessions (online or in person), over six months
• Follow-up critique of revisions.

Tier 3: Novel

(up to 80k words)

RM1,000

• Full read
• Detailed editorial letter
• 6 discussion sessions (online or in person), over six months
• Follow-up critique of revisions

Tier 4: Long novel

(up to 100k words)

RM1,200

• Full read
• Detailed editorial letter
• 6 discussion sessions (online or in person), over six months
• Follow-up critique of revisions.

This programme isn’t about quick fixes or vague encouragement. Whether you’re writing fiction, memoir, or creative non-fiction, it’s about working with you, editor to writer, to make your manuscript the best it can be.

If you’d like to learn more or apply to be mentored, please get in touch by emailing me at daphne@daphnelee.org.

And if a lumpsum payment of fees feels difficult right now, don’t let that hold you back—please get in touch and we can work out a more manageable payment structure.

Let’s talk soon!
