We’re launching our Heritage Author Reproduction Project (HARP) on October 1, so here’s a great opportunity to get to know what mentorship will look like for potential mentees, ask questions, and firm up what you need to get ready.

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:
