“From ‘insider knowledge’ to juicy hints and tips that you’d only find out from listening to an agent, it was all really invigorating.”

Hazel C

Premium Member

“Given I spend all day either delivering webinars or in meetings online, the fact that I am keen to jump on at 7pm speaks volumes about the relevance and value of your sessions.”

Becki H

“It is an amazing experience to feel part of something like this. Writing can be a lonely business but suddenly there are so many others out there with the same queries!”

Frequently asked
questions

1

Can I attend the events or take the course without being a Premium Member?

No, the course and events included in Getting Published Month are for our Premium Members only. But, you can join us just for the month by taking our a Flex Membership for £30. Once the month is up, you’re free to cancel (though we hope you’ll stay!). It’s more cost effective to join us for a whole year, which you can do here.

2

I’m not based in the UK. Will Getting Published Month still be worth it for me?

Yes, absolutely. The How To Get a Literary Agent course is completely self-paced, meaning you can take it at any time. Most of the live events are held at 19:00 GMT but if you can’t make them live, you can always watch on replay and submit questions to us ahead of time if you know you’re not going to make it. We have members from all over the world and would love for you to join us.

3

I already have my submission pack ready to go. Will Getting Published Month be right for me?

Yes, definitely. You’ll have the chance to share what you’re working on with us, and your fellow members, before you send out your queries so that you can polish things up as much as possible. You’ll also hear directly from agents and publishers about what they’re looking for.

4

I’m not ready to share my work. Do I have to?

No, of course not! Though we encourage all our members to share their work, we understand it’s not for everyone. The best way you can improve your work is by opening it up to feedback, but if you’re not ready for that, that’s fine. You are encouraged to get involved in giving feedback to others but it’s definitely not compulsory!

5

I’m hoping to self-publish. Will Getting Published Month be right for me?

This month is primarily aimed at people who are going down a traditional publishing route – whether that’s with the Big Four, small presses, or digital first. However, you’ll learn a huge amount about how to create a decent blurb and appeal to readers during the month.  Plus, even if Getting Published Month isn’t quite right for you, you’ll have access to all the other parts of Premium Membership, including our Intro to Self-Publishing Course and other self-publishing resources, so you’ll definitely find tools to help you on your way.

6

I have a question that hasn’t been answered. How do I contact you?

You can email us here or fill in our contact form, here.
