Mentors May Choose Two Applicants
This is part of an email I wrote. It should clarify the position of a writer mentoring more than one person. Note: Mentors don't have to take on more than one mentee.
~*~*~*~
I always thought all of my mentors would just pick one mentee. But, if some of you truly want a second mentee, you should be able to.
A few points if you'd like more than one mentee:
1. Only pick two people at most. One will be your "definite" and one will be your "maybe".
2. If, after all mentors select their "definite" applicants your "maybe" is without a mentor, you can approach your "maybe" and offer to mentor them.
3. Make sure you have the stamina to take on two people for the duration! I want everyone comfortable and working at their best.
4. Please let your "definite" applicant know you want to take on a second applicant before you do so. Your "definite" can't tell you what to do. It's a courtesy.
If you happen to be excited about a potential mentee's application and are certain you want them as your "definite", you don't have to wait until the end of the submission window. I'll just let the other mentor know the applicant has found a partner.
