~writers-adoption is a group designed to create a largely informal mentoring system within DA. The idea is that writers team up for the purpose of aiding one another - albeit it is expected that in most circumstances one of the two will be more experienced in their field than the other.

(There is however nothing wrong with, for example, a poet and prosewriter teaming up to expand their learning on the different styles of writing from each other.)

If you feel you have what it takes to help another writer advance in their art, then perhaps being an Adopter is for you.

If you feel that you have more to learn, and don't feel up to 'teaching', then perhaps the idea of being an Adoptee sounds good.

If you feel you can teach AND are willing to keep learning - then you may both adopt a deviant as well as be adopted.

The basic premise of the project is this:
People want to teach and/or want to learn about the art and craft of writing.

The basic prerequisite for joining is a willingness to dedicate some effort to the process of teaching/learning.
These things take some time after all.


The Writers-Adoption journal contains the actual procedures for participating.


Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have about this group either here, via note to Writers-Adoption, or in the Writers-Adoption Journal.

Benedictions all.
