As the mentorship draws to a close, I reflect on all I’ve learned in these past four months. Tara has been so generous with her time as a mentor, friend, therapist, comedian, philosopher, marketing expert, and career advisor – there was no topic off-limit. Tara was always ready and willing to help me with whatever writing-related task that was at hand, and each time we met was a rich, energetic experience that added to my craft and overall confidence as a writer. I genuinely believe I struck gold with this mentorship, and I am so grateful to work with Tara.
