Being a mentor or a mentee can be fulfilling and rewarding. In this article, we look at the role and relationship of mentors and mentees, and the importance of using soft skills within the mentor/mentee dynamic. Individually tailored and productive mentor and mentee sessions will furnish the mentee with enhanced soft skills to carry forward into their day-to-day work, which will, in turn, give rise to being a well-rounded and agile medical writer.   Medical Writing. 2024;33(2):56–8. https://doi.org/10.56012/hjdb5823
