STAGE 3: MENTORED

For the author seeking
accountability, not just access.

Inner Circle is a small, mentored community for women authors ready for real connection and consistent accountability — deliberately capped so every member gets genuine attention, not just another login.

SEATS PER INTAKE

Inner Circle opens twice a year, deliberately capped at ten members per intake so that Monthly Review Days and peer mentorship stay personal. When seats are full, Collective members with priority enrolment are notified first as spaces open.

The INNER CIRCLE Is For You If

You want mentorship, not just materials.

  • You’ve worked through the Collective’s resources and want deeper support
  • You value being known by a small, consistent community
  • You want scheduled accountability, not open-ended self-direction
  • You’re weighing whether Quill Masters distribution is your next step

“For women authors seeking connection, accountability, and growth.”

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE

Everything in the Collective, and a circle to walk it with.

Inner Circle adds the human element — people who know your manuscript, your goals, and check in on both.

W

WOMEN-ONLY WHATSAPP GROUP

A small, private space to ask questions, share wins, and stay connected between Review Days.

R

MONTHLY REVIEW DAYS

A standing monthly session to review progress, troubleshoot what’s stuck, and set the next month’s focus.

COURSE DISCOUNTS

The deepest discount available before Quill Masters, where access becomes free.

why join THE COLLECTIVE

Small by design, not by accident.

Ten seats isn’t a limitation — it’s the point. Real mentorship doesn’t scale past a certain size.

  • “Accountability works best in a small room.”
    Peer and mentor support means someone notices when you go quiet, and celebrates when you don’t.
  • “Progress deserves a monthly check-in.”
    Review Days give your writing a fixed point in the calendar, not just good intentions.
  • “This is where distribution starts to feel possible.”
    Inner Circle is the last stage before Quill Masters — the conversations here often lead there.
  • “Your contribution funds more than your own journey.”
    As a registered NPC, your membership also supports our programmes and funds.

BEFORE YOU JOIN

A few things worth knowing

What happens if the 10 seats are full?

You can still register your interest, and Collective members with priority enrolment are notified first when the next intake opens.

Do I need to already be a Collective member?

It’s the expected path, since Collective members receive priority enrolment, but every application is reviewed individually. You will be contacted if there are any seats open once the Collective members have taken theirs.

What happens after Inner Circle?

Many members go on to apply for Quill Masters, our by-application distribution tier, once their manuscript is ready. No obligation.
