The programme is supported by the Irish Writers Centre, the Arts Council, and The Source.

The National Mentoring Programme is an opportunity open to all writers across the island of Ireland to receive sustained creative and professional mentoring from an established Irish writer of their choosing.
A minimum of 30 mentoring relationships are on offer every year.
Writers from all thirty-two counties, who create work under the categories of fiction, creative non-fiction, children’s/young adult fiction, and poetry, are eligible to apply.
Each mentorship consists of three meetings with an experienced writer over a period of approximately 6–8 months.
The mentor reads some of their work in advance, and will give creative feedback.
