Copy these questions and your answers into an email and send to kerrabolton@gmail.com. Then we will reach out to you to schedule our intake call and begin our work together.

Congratulations on taking this step forward! Let the transformative work begin.

Intake Section (to include in initial email to kerrabolton@gmail.com):

1. What story or project are you currently working on (or want to begin)?

Briefly describe the personal, creative, or professional work you’d like mentorship on.

Example:

I’m working on a memoir about surviving my mother’s fundamentalist religious cult and how I rebuilt my life as a public school teacher. I’ve kept journals for years and want to turn them into a narrative that’s both honest and empowering. Eventually, I hope to adapt it into a screenplay.

2. What stage is your project in?

Choose the option that best describes your current stage:

• Idea or early brainstorm

• Rough draft in progress

• Full manuscript or detailed outline

• Revising or adapting an existing work

• Other (please describe)

Example:

I’m between a rough draft and full manuscript. I’ve written about 25,000 words, but the structure isn’t clear and I keep rewriting the beginning.

3. What is your ultimate goal with this story or project?

Check all that apply or write your own:

• Personal healing or legacy

• Publication (book, article, essay)

• Adaptation into a film or series

• University press or academic submission

• Other (please explain)

Example:

My goal is both personal healing and professional: I want to publish this as a memoir and eventually pitch it as a limited series for television.

4. What support do you most need from Kerra in this process?

Select or describe the kind of mentorship that would help you most:

• Help shaping structure and story arc

• Feedback on tone, voice, or truth-telling

• Support with adaptation into visual form

• Accountability and deadlines

• Strategic guidance for pitching or positioning
