The 2026 Autumn Mentorship (deposit)

£400.00

The 2026 Autumn Mentorship with Huma Qureshi

This is a small, attentive mentorship for writers who want dedicated time to develop their work, gentle guidance as they write, and a thoughtful, individual response to what they’re creating:

  • two private 1:1 conversations (60 minutes each)

  • two small group calls (shared Q+A and conversation, 75 minutes each)

  • personal feedback on up to 5,000 words of your writing, in the form of an extremely detailed editorial letter from me.

The emphasis in The Autumn Mentorship is on supporting the natural development of your work over time. The mentorship runs across October and November and is limited to 3–4 writers so the space can remain focused and spacious.

Many writers who join the mentorship have previously taken one of my workshops or courses, though this isn’t essential.

If you’re unsure whether this would suit where you are in your writing, feel free to email me via the contact page. I’m always happy to talk it through.

What writers whom I’ve mentored have said:

‘This was the best gift I could have given to myself! I needed this mentorship to enable me to finally understand that I am a literary writer and that my words matter. Huma has led me in a direction I didn’t think was possible and has streamlined a path for me that I have now embarked on whilst really understanding that I’m writing a book. Without this mentorship I don’t think I would have fully understood what I am capable of.’

  • Alice

‘I just wanted to say thank you so much for your feedback and guidance over the last few months. I used to start writing but could never continue with it and didn’t know how I could change that. The writing I’m currently doing has been different and I am excited every time I write, even a few sentences.’

  • Pooja

‘Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous editorial letter. I really took my time reading through it properly and I feel both encouraged and excited by your feedback.

What struck me most was the way you helped me see something in my writing that I’d instinctively been circling around, but hadn’t fully understood yet. I can already feel how your suggestions could deepen the work as a whole.

I also really appreciated your thoughts on structure and momentum, and the way you encouraged me to think more consciously about my writing as stories, with movement, tension and a connecting line. It’s given me a lot to think about going forward.

It genuinely means a lot to feel that the work is being read with such care and seriousness.’

The Autumn Mentorship is non-refundable, unless in the unlikely event that I need to cancel
