I've been a bit silent on socials lately so it's time to introduce myself again for all my new followers. ❤️

I'm K. J. Harrowick (Kat), a SFF author who also lingers in nonfiction. By day I'm the co-founder and CTO of @iknowwhyshestayed.bsky.social - at night I roam the dark halls of strange worlds.

3-1/2 hours left until #WriteHive Submissions open, and for anyone wondering how my process works, let's pull back the curtain and look inside.

This is my process, so other mentor processes may vary.🥰

Scroll for my answers to @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor AMA!
Question 1: What is your mentorship style? What can mentees expect from working with you?
Text: I'm a mentor for WriteHive! JR "Jess" Creaden. SWIPE for my AMA. #HIVEmentor Image: middle aged white person with clear glasses, brown eyes, and short, wavy brown hair Text: JR JESS Creaden. Question 1: What is your mentorship style? What can Mentees expect from working with you? Answer: My style varies a lot depending on each project and author, but generally I can be expected to offer clear guidance wrapped in understanding and warmth. No one starts out knowing everything, and there's always more for every artist to uncover about their process and self. My mentee should expect encouragement and support in diving deep.

#HiveMentor AMA, Q2: What's your favorite book you've read recently?

THE DRAVENHEARST BRIDES by Lindsay Barrett, about an heiress who enters into a marriage of convenience with the scion of an ailing bourbon distillery. It’s like Crimson Peak in bluegrass country!

Excited to be a WriteHive mentor again! This is my fourth time mentoring with this program and I can't wait to read the awesome submissions again this year.

#HiveMentor
My pic against a background with the WriteHive logo. Text: "I'm a mentor for WriteHive! A.J. Van Belle. Swipe to check out my MSWL" I’m open to just about any genre in MG, YA, NA, or adult! Very open to genre mashups, stuff you think is “too weird,” anything -punk, anything SFF/spec fic, and contemporary as long as it has a fresh perspective. A few favorite recent reads: The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo Important dates: Nov. 3-7: Mentor AMAs Nov 13-16: Mentee submission window Nov. 13-Dec. 30: Mentor reading window Jan. 1: Mentees announced

Alright. Fine. I did what I promised. I made graphics. But I did sign one of them in MS Paint. I have a brand.
Text on a purple background: “I’m a mentor for WriteHive!” Lower left corner contains the WriteHive logo and the hashtag #hivementor. White text says S. Morgan Burbank, but hand written in MS Paint. Centered is a drawing of me with wavy redhair Text reading Manuscript Wishlist followed by: Age/Market: Adult, YA Genres: Comedy/humor, Cyberpunk, Dystopia, LGBTQIA+ fiction, sports stories, sapphic fiction Specifics: Good lord I’m tired. I just want to laugh. Maybe some girls kiss or some robots show up or there’s wrestling or hockey or sapphic robot hockey players who moonlight as pro wrestlers. I’m not asking for much. I’ll go back to my corner now.

SO thrilled to be a WriteHive mentor for another year! Yes, you're counting right - I'm a part of 2 mentorship programs this year! Double the fun, y'all!

My MSWL is, as ever, very loose. This is so that you don't self-reject, and so that you don't pigeon-hole yourself into not applying. Just do it!
