I will provide mentorship or beta reading services to writers

Hi! I'm Loretta Chefchaouni, a young adult fantasy author. My debut comes out from Peachtree teen in May 2026. I am an alum of several mentorship contests, a 10-year veteran of the query trenches, and a faculty mentor of the Highlights Foundation (now Boyds Mills) Muslim Storyteller Fellowship. I can help you get unstuck in your book and excited to revise! Marginalized creator discount available for mentorship service-contact me to see if you qualify. :)

What my mentees have said:

"Loretta thoroughly read and reviewed my entire manuscript, asking insightful questions throughout that showed how much she cared about my story. I was surprised at the level of care she put into turning my draft into a publisher-ready manuscript ... Even deeper than the text, Loretta seemed to comprehend the motivation behind my story. She shared valuable resources with me that helped improve my writing, not just the plot." -Omar Abed

"Loretta not only provided me with great, detailed, and timely feedback but was also always very kind and encouraging. She has a lot of knowledge and skills in both the craft of storytelling and the publishing industry, which she generously shared with me." -Ayah A
