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.

Jericho, through Verity at Courses, took a real personal interest in my situation as an underrepresented writer … In my experience, Jericho does its utmost to help disadvantaged writers and takes a real personal interest in each case.

Sarah B

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

Sam P

Festival of Writing attendee

Really helpful tutors and staff

Nicholas S

Courses alum

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

Karen

Festival of Writing attendee

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!!

Mary K

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.

Lorna T

Festival of Writing attendee

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.

Kerry V

Festival of Writing attendee

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.

Dave C

Festival of Writing attendee

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.
