Featured Mentor: Lee Martin

We are excited to announce our featured mentor of the week: Lee Martin! Lee Martin is the author of seven novels, including The Bright Forever, a finalist for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. He has also published four memoirs and two short story collections, most recently The Mutual UFO Network, in addition to the craft book, Telling Stories. He is the winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ohio Arts Council. He teaches in the MFA Program at The Ohio State University.

Like many of our mentors, Lee is excited about the opportunity to give back to writers what their mentors gave them. “I wouldn't be the writer I am today without mentors who took the time to help me develop my craft. Mentoring is a way of paying forward the tremendous favor other writers did for me.”

A book Lee recommends? Tracy Daugherty's biography, Larry McMurtry: A Life.
