I'm blanking on this but I remember an ad agency mentorship program run by a group of individuals within the biz taking place last summer. Anybody remember the name?

Returning to #AWPW2W is @KeithKopka, senior editor at NARRATIVE, director of the low-res MFA at Holy Family University, and the author of COUNT FOUR. Keith’s mentee is @APstyle, a writer with work in CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL, BON APPÉTIT, and STRUGGLE MAG. Best of luck to them!
