PRH employees—“Mentors for the Day”— help mentees take their drafts to the next level. Employees will answer questions about their professional journeys then work with mentees to strengthen their pieces in small group breakout rooms. Learn how small changes can make a big difference in how your writing is received. Editing is easier...and enjoyable when you have a professional editor by your side!
