Couple of Parsec announcements:

All future Parsec committee announcements will be on the one group and on one page:
a) The GROUP that will remain open will be the Confluence-sff group. This group will be renamed for Parsec and all the committees. https://www.facebook.com/groups/123239881088688
b) The Business PAGE that will remain open will be the Confluence-SFF page. https://www.facebook.com/confluencesff
This page will be renamed to reflect all Parsec committees.
GROUPS & PAGES TO BE CLOSED:
1. The Parsec SFF Meeting Group.
2. This Parsec Ink business Page.
3. The Parsec-sff business page.
If you have liked or joined any of these Groups or Pages to be deleted, please go to the Confluence-sff Group and join that one.
Then go to the Confluence-SFF page and like/follow that one.
Whatever our feelings on AI, we can’t escape the fact that it’s here and that its influence is growing. This prompt invites the writers to imagine what sorts of mythology might be developed in response to the growth, as well as what sort of mythology AIs might write about themselves.

The SFWA Career Mentorship Program is now taking applications for mentors and mentees, and you do not need to be a SFWA member to apply! The three-month-long mentorships will run January 10–April 10, 2023.
This all-volunteer service is provided free of charge. We aim to connect emerging writers with each other and established professionals for community, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities. This endeavor is focused on professional development rather than artistic development.
Conferences, panels, and other events are useful tools for building relationships in the speculative fiction genre community, but they aren’t the best opportunities to ask someone on how they got to where they are in their career, or how they negotiated their agent's retirement, or how they handle parenthood and deadlines. This mentorship program gives participants the opportunity to have those conversations.
For mentors, this is a great chance to pass on knowledge in a structured, supported, and finite setting. They will be able to set parameters for preferred topics and communication methods. They may help mentees understand the agent process, offer tips and tricks to get a project moving again, or poke a toe into a new subgenre or publication path. We should note that providing critique is not an expectation.
From a past mentor: “I didn’t think I’d amassed much expertise in publishing, but I took the jump anyhow. I was surprised by how much help I could give my mentee with book tours and social media, which had the bonus of giving me more confidence about my career accomplishments.”
For mentees, this is a chance to pick the brains of someone who is a couple of rungs ahead on the ladder, or at a similar career point but with a different expertise. Career, not craft, is the focus here.
From a past mentee: “I am back on track with consistent output for my novel…she gave me lots of productivity hacks that I'll be able to use for future projects, she gave me peace of mind about my current situation with my agent and more!”
The mentorship initiative is open to SFWA members and nonmembers, whether in a mentee or mentor role. Please share this with other creators who would benefit from the program—especially established professionals who have a wealth of knowledge to share with earlier career writers.
Applications are open and will remain open until 12:00pm Eastern Time on Wednesday November 30. All applicants must be 21 or older to participate. After the application period is over, we will use a lottery system to select participants and will make matches over the month of December. Due to high demand, we ask that if you have had a successful match as a mentee in one of the previous matching rounds, you don't apply again in this round.
