Introduction to HARP for Mentors


September 6, 2025 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm

Track:

If you don’t see the ‘enter room’ button, make sure you’re logged in at the top right.

We’re launching our Heritage Author Republication Project (HARP) on October 1, so here’s a great opportunity to get to know what mentorship will look like for the tech-savvy mentors, ask questions, and firm up where you’d like to help out.

HARP is dedicated to helping SFWA members with out-of-print works find a “second home” for their materials in digital form. If you have your rights reverted and would like to digitize your work, either for preservation or indie-publishing, check out our meet-and-greet for potential mentees on Sunday, September 7.

This mentor-prep event is open to all SFWA members interested in learning more about how to be a mentor or support this program in other ways. Learn more about HARP and benefits of being a mentor here:
