I wanted to highlight the invaluable support and advice I’ve received from Emily in the writer support team who has spent time helping me develop and edit my query letter for agents – as well as discussing my writing and the potential publishing options for my novel, This 1-1 support has been an added bonus in addition to the online tutorials/Videos.

Jericho, through Verity at Courses, took a real personal interest in my situation as an underrepresented writer (I am the primary carer for my disabled husband) and made a great effort to help me, suggesting sources of funding and informing me about bursaries offered by Jericho for mentoring and the self-editing course. In my experience, Jericho does its utmost to help disadvantaged writers and takes a real personal interest in each case.

Great festival. Got to talk with an agent about my submission, had lots of great workshops, met plenty of interesting writers!

Really helpful tutors and staff

Wonderful convention, great experience, and tons of practical information.

I sent technical questions to Jericho for advice today about computer brands and writing software. Jonny sent a clear and detailed response right away. Thanks, Jericho, for being there—I’m not alone!!

First experience of an event like this, and it more than met my expectations. Full of informative, well presented sessions and workshops plus two very helpful 1:1s with agents. And being with fellow writers for a full weekend was calming (writers are lovely people), and exhilarating at the same time – met so many interesting people.

Everything I was hoping to find. The content was helpful to writers at many stages of development, the atmosphere was positive and supportive, and the staff were professional and passionate. I look forward to attending next year and wish I could have devoted the full weekend to the conference. Thank you!

I have not enjoyed myself so much in years. Very friendly helpful people and enthusiastic attendees. Gained a lot of writing tips and snagged an agent.

Well-organised event for writers with a strong line-up of workshops and in person 10 min agent 1-1s. Impressed that team have listened to feedback on past events and this was much slicker and professional with less queuing and the return of the sit-down dinner, a rare chance to build in person connections with other writers.
