Jericho Writers Reviews 

I've only subscribed to the Jericho Writers newsletter last week and so far, it's equally amusing and useful.
Though I am not trying to write a fiction novel or crime thriller, but rather a children story, the most recent edition about finding your voice made me wonder why I chose my main character, and what I'm trying to say through it (because it's a trampoline). I might have the courage to book a one-on-one agent session soon!!

I signed up as a member of Jericho writers in November and booked an agent 1 to 1 in December. By January I was represented by a brilliant agent who is helping me take the next step towards getting published.
Through Jericho I have set up a writing group of similar and yet varied writers who are incredibly supportive.
I've used their courses as motivators and productive procrastination, which slows down the writing process but improves my skills and knowledge.
I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to take writing seriously.

Victoria provided very comprehensive notes on my three stories in conjunction with a later online face to face meeting.
Her knowledge and constructive direction has proved invaluable and has helped me keep my focus and I now feel confident to take my stories forward. Her experience in the publishing industry I have found invaluable going forward. It was a very smooth process to engage with Victoria and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a mentor.

I had an editor provide feedback on my agent submission packet. I was given a complete report on my query letter, synopsis and first 10K of my manuscript. I was so pleased to see the report in my inbox so quickly. I was able to take action on his advice immediately. I was very happy with his suggestions for the query letter - the advice I think makes a greater impact on an agent. I was thrilled that he liked what I'd written and gave suggestions for improvement of sentences, etc. and for formatting to make it easier to read and to improve appearance of manuscript - which I hadn't even thought of.

Jericho has continued to send me regular e-mails when I have been suffering a bit from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Quite often these communications were amongst tax demand e-mails and similar correspondence.
Their writers wrote fun e-mails, good to read and a pleasant relief from the dross which can flood the internet.

As usual, verity supplied me with the information I needed in a professional, unassuming, knowledgeable manner

I work steadily to pay bills, and have less time for my inspirational books. I've got them on my flash. Just fighting hard to bring them on the print.
Collection of four lengthy stories which settings are African.
Am greatful to this platform because when I seemed to loose courage, your msgs always wakes me up.
Little knowledge of computing, has also caused more delay trying to complete a final review on the book for publication.

Jericho Writers inspires me and makes me believe that anything is possible—that I can one day become a bestselling novelist. They encourage me to dream big, and they’ve given me the tools to start turning those dreams into reality.

I have been a premium member for almost a year and it is so useful and excellent value for the price of a few coffees per month. I've been writing for a while and the choice of Jericho courses, events and material all covered by my membership are excellent. The quality is always reliable and I always learn something. I can pick and choose when I get involved and the subjects I pick in line with the issues I am trying to resolve. I have no doubt that my writing and approach has improved enormously as a result. With luck my next novel will not end up in the drawer.

It kept me going,non-stop reading to the very end.

This is a fantastic resource that I'd recommend to all writers - from novice to well established, there's something for everyone.

Only been on this course for a couple of weeks and have already learned so much. The self-pacd lessons are perfect. The wealth of knowledge shared is game changing. I highly reccomend this course to anyonewho is still learning the craft.

I have enjoyed the entirety of this bootcamp. I came at it with a novel that has been drafted behind me but that took me yonks to do. This was so helpful in both a reflective and practical sense for making the next ones easier. I have already started implementing techniques and am feeling the benefit. I have so much enthusiasm for the next step. I can see this being beneficial for people at a lot of different points in their writing career. They're also all so wonderfully friendly and approachable. Highly recommend.

The writing your first draft bootcamp was a really inspirational and motivating week of webinars.

Brilliant summer boot camp! So motivating and inspirational to get amazing tips from top authors.
Thank you - it's got me writing again :)

Whatever they seem to do, Jericho Writers are clear, concise and above all comforting. They create confidence and courage, so no-one whatever level they think they're at, they are actually better than that. With relaxed attention to what Jericho Writers say or suggest, they will be better still and at one level or another, will be as good as, if not better than the others. That's how I feel anyway.

Jon Curzon's quick response to my submission was very welcome and a useful guide to clarifying my own thoughts on what I should do next about the manuscript. His advice included steps I had been considering that would make a major difference to my memoir, which is near completion. I will contact Jon for more advice at this stage.

This was my third Festival and easily the best organised. Because so many details had been anticipated, I felt more relaxed and better able to concentrate on making friends and absorbing the superb seminars and talks I attended.
The food, endless snacks and copious chilled water (in a heatwave!) were of a very high standard and the Gala dinner was superb. The Festival staff were invariably friendly and welcoming and everything was laid out intelligently with plenty of space for quiet contemplation. I thoroughly recommend the Jericho Writers' Festival

I recently attended the Festival of Writing weekend in London which was an enjoyable and well organised event. It was a great opportunity to meet other writers and agents as well as attend various sessions offering advice on improving your writing skills and providing insight into the industry.

I joined the Jericho writer's community this year and they have not disappointed! They have loads of resources available to you the moment you register. A whole library of masterclasses and courses, events you can sign up for, agent 121 sessions you can book, and a handful of live, monthly online events and feedback sessions. "With you for every word" — they picked a good slogan.
