Jericho Writers Avis 

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.

I (and my writer husband) attended the 2025 London Writers Festival and travelled from Australia to do so.
During the festival attendees have the opportunity to speak with an agent or book doctor in a 1-2-1.
I used a double 1-2-1 booking with the same agent (Laura Williams) and asked if I could record the session. It was the best thing I could have done. Even with cutting through any niceties the double only just allowed time for what she had to tell me and for me to answer her questions. Even then, I walked away not feeling overly enlightened...UNTIL a few days later (after returning to Australia) I listened to the recording. I was mind blown with what had ACTUALLY been discussed vs my memory/emotions and the notes provided.
I feel the ability to take in information agents have in the 1-2-1s is limited as most people are feeling intimidated, nervous, perhaps disappointed with something they've just been told and don't hear much else after, so miss something positive.
Listening to the recording gave context with tone of voice, it reminded me of what had been said-some of which I had no memory of-and it gave me great insight. Had I have been able to take in what was being said to me during our 1-2-1, I would have been elated and maybe I would have stopped listening. My inner self talk often sidetracks me when I am reading or listening to someone and I'm sure a lot of creative people have that same problem/superpower, so recording using 'voice memo' on my phone was the perfect solution.

The festival was fabulous and worth the travel. It was a little different to festivals I've attended and enjoyed around Australia. The workshops and presenters were all very interesting; they discussed different content to what I've heard before and I came away from the festival enlightened and hopefully a better writer.

The Jericho Writers staff kept smiling, were all very helpful and managed to keep the crowds moving, we were in the right place at the right time, and they had all the answers. What a great bunch.

Congratulations Becca Day and your Jericho team on hosting such a good weekend.

Jericho Writers offers so many resources for my writing needs. The London Festival of Writing was everything I hoped it would be. So many kind people who work for Jericho, which attracted creative, energized, friendly writers who I got to meet.

I attended the London's Writers Festival 2025 and I absolutely recommend it for aspiring authors! I bought the whole week-end ticket, and as a result, had plenty of networking opportunities both with other writers, Jericho staff, agents, and authors. The workshops were insightful, and I can't wait to dive deeper into many of the resources and courses Jericho offers.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day (I attended just the Saturday) at the Writing Festival 2025. The current organisers/director obviously put a great deal of effort into every aspect, which created a positive and supportive atmosphere and great sense of community. I found the one-to-one with the literary agent exceptionally thorough and spot on (and the written notes to take away, very useful). The venue at the Leonardo hotel was rather lovely, quite plush (!) with fantastic catering (with delicious vegan options). I look forward to attending next year's event!

I am new to Jericho Writers and I can already feel the difference it is making. Snippets of information, structure documents that allow you to go deeper inside your characters. You never know what they will reveal to you. The feedback Friday was great fun, the first time I'd put any of my writing in the public domain and it was great to get feedback from my peers. Fully recommend this group of wonderful, creative and helpful people.

Having Jericho Writers in my life is like having an experienced friend who has been through it and gives you a constructive and supportive take on any niggles or queries.
I recently had a manuscript assessment and it has proved so helpful. It came back well within the time limit and was detailed. I really felt the editor had taken time. It was inspiring as well as critical, but in a professional, positive way.
In the short time I have been a member, I have also joined a few webinars and found them very useful. There are so many parts to Jericho Writers, I would definitely recommend!

Another excellent Festival of Writing with tons of added value. Made new friends and met up with existing ones I’ve been students with on the great courses. Becca and Sophie did another amazing job. It was seamless. Highlights for me - on top of the event itself - was the queen of psychic distance and self-edit - BRILLIANT Debi Alper. Plus a 121 with the FABULOUS author Zoe Richards which was personal, inspirational and highly recommended. First class all round. Thank you everyone involved.

Currently at the London Festival Of Writing 2025! My first time at the event and absolutely LOVE it. The panels are fantastic and everyone is looking to connect and share. One-to-one sessions were extremely helpful and excited for the next event.

The Festival of Writing is a great opportunity to make connections with fellow writers, hear industry insights, get inspiration and motivation for your work - whatever stage you're at!

I've been a member of Jericho Writers for years now and I will never miss the London Festival of Writing! It's the highlight of my year, an incredible community and I learn to much. Can't wait for 2026!

Attended the London Festival of Writing 2025. Such a well organised event that flowed seamlessly. They offered a wealth of information.

Jericho writers' and the Jericho Festival of Writing is just a wonderful place to improve your writing. Whether you have a vague idea, a finished first draft, or ready to send it out to editors, there's courses for anyone at any time in your writing career. The community is the best, everyone knows how scary it can be to share your work, and everyone there is happy to help you have the best time.

Easily the best membership I've had for a writing organisation. I have done a number of their free sessions (with paid membership), and recently completed their paid Self-Edit course which transformed my writing. On top of that they are generous, kind, inclusive, and just fun to be around. Highly recommend.

Attended the London Festival of Writing for the first time and found it very well thought-out: engaging speakers and topics, plenty of opportunities for mingling or downtime, and very interesting people in attendance!

Really great space to learn, network and feel inspired.

If you are looking to have your manuscript assessed by a professional editor, look no further.
Jericho Writers has a superb roster of experienced and highly skilled editors who will take your work to the next level, and the Jericho team are always fantastic to work with.
Highly recommended.

Jericho offer comprehensive and caring support for aspiring writers through their wide-ranging and engaging resources and staff who are ever ready to provide advice and encouragement. The recent courses on self-editing and creative non-fiction have shaped my current work for the better and Harry's weekly letters give apt insight into all aspects of writing and publishing.

Imogen is the greatest! She helped enable me to focus on the track I should take with my novel: initially, I was planning a narrative nonfiction work, but I shall save bits and pieces and use for an autobiography for later. Looking forward to taking the self-editing course in September AND MOST OF ALL signing on to be a member very shortly—of Jericho Writers!

I submitted my second novel to Jericho for a detailed manuscript assessment. The resulting report clarified a clear opportunity for me to centre the book as a political thriller. Of course I also got some challenging feedback on the work itself but has given me the impetus to reshape the novel and publish this year. Thanks Rufus and Jericho.
PS the ongoing support via membership is fantastic and well worth the cost.
