Mentorship Matching Framework
Library > Resource Hub > Mentorship Matching Framework
How to be matched, what to expect, and how to make the relationship work.
The Mentorship Matching Framework is a clear guide for Muslimah authors participating in The Collective Inner Circle. It outlines the process of being paired with a mentor, sets expectations for the relationship, and provides practical guidance for making the most of mentorship.
This framework ensures both mentors and mentees benefit fully from the programme — building skills, confidence, and long-term author growth.

This resource includes:
✦ Matching process — how mentees are paired with mentors based on goals, experience, and writing focus

✦ Expectations for mentors — guidance on providing feedback, support, and encouragement
✦ Best practices — tips for maintaining a professional, productive, and respectful mentoring relationship

It’s designed to foster clarity, accountability, and meaningful progress for both sides.
Who this is for

Mentorship is a partnership built on trust and commitment. Approach it with sincerity, openness, and intention — bi idhnillah, it will accelerate your growth and enrich your author journey. At AMWASA, we cultivate mentorships that empower Muslimah authors to develop their skills, confidence, and professional networks. This framework guides both mentees and mentors to ensure meaningful, productive, and values-aligned relationships within The Collective Inner Circle.
