Every course, video, online resource and blog post gives high quality advice that is relevant for writers at all stages of their journey. The speakers and tutors in the videos and courses are highly experienced and content is always pitched well.

Karen R

Highly recommend every writer to Jericho Writers as a member of several years. There’s a wide variety of resources on the website … And then there are the live events that have widely expanded my writing craft knowledge.

Teresa M

Can’t praise Jericho Writers highly enough. For a very reasonable fee you get access to tons of live events, online courses and Harry’s Friday Emails, plus the opportunity to give and receive feedback with other aspiring writers.

Laurence R

I’ve come away from the festival with a notebook brimming with notes and ideas! With truly inspiring workshops, well-prepared speakers and opportunities to get agent feedback, it’s definitely worth it.

Helen M

The London Festival of Writing is a full on experience run by people who know what they are doing, make it fun, informative and varied. There is no better place to receive the encouragement necessary to use our voices and keep going.

Anya H

I’ve been a premium member for almost three years and have received helpful, detailed and relevant advice on a variety of writing issues from published authors and writing coaches. Wish I’d found this site even sooner!
