Writing Events from Jericho Writers
Our events change lives. We help you write better, find literary agents, or self-publish with success.
Countless writers have used our events as their springboard into the industry and we’d love to help you too. You can log on and join in live events from home or meet agents, authors and writing experts in person. We’ve been running events for over 14 years, so we absolutely know what you want to know and make sure that we provide it. Our aim is always to bring you the most salient advice from the best authors, agents, tutors and agents with the most up-to-date knowhow in the industry… while keeping the atmosphere warm, supportive and inspirational.
Live Member Events
Exclusive for members of Jericho Writers, our programme of weekly online events give you the chance to pitch your work to literary agents, ask questions to leading experts and get feedback on your writing – all from your living room. Ideal for honing your writing and editing skills and working towards publishing that novel. Join per month or for the year to gain unlimited access to everything you need to get ahead with your writing goals.
September Events
The long, hot days are starting to wind down into a crisp September. Of course, if you live in the UK, there haven’t really been any “long hot days” to wind down. It’s almost as if you can already feel the promise of pumpkin spice lattes in the air and thick blankets in front of roaring fires.
For all of us—writers, authors, agents, and publishers—September is when things start to get a little chaotic. With getaways and beach days no longer serving as excuses, queriers are querying, and writers are writing with gusto. Maybe it’s the memories of the first day back at school, but there really is something about this month that gives us all a kick up the arse.
We’ve got a lot going on this month where you can put that fresh motivation to use. Come join us in the Writing Room and spend an hour with us writing away, learn more about IP projects with Avon, and then round out the month with Laura Starkey, the newest member of Jericho Writers and a talented author in her own right, as she leads you down the path of romantic tension building.
London Festival of Writing
The Festival of Writing is an annual writing festival which sees hundreds of writers gather from around the world for a weekend of writing workshops, one-to-ones and more. The Festival of Writing will come to London in October 2023.
Since 2010, over three hundred writers per year have travelled to York to attend our Festival of Writing . This year, we’re back for a two-day non-residential festival in London. We’ve retained all the best bits from York – agent 121s, fantastic workshops, Friday Night Live, drinks at the bar – and can’t wait to see you in London this October.
