Apprenticeships In Fiction is a non-profit making scheme designed to support writers, both as apprentices and mentors.

.... an individualised training programme shows you what it takes to become a writer. The Apprenticeship helped me develop as a writer by making me see what it was I was trying to achieve and how to surmount the obstructions in my path. I can't put a value on it, but I know my work has a better chance of success than it ever had before.
