Each month at Jericho Writers is jam-packed, making it easy to get the most out of your membership and put those words down on the page.
On the first Thursday of every month, we host Ask Us Anything — a fun, informative session where Premium Members from around the world can get their burning writing and publishing questions answered.
Every Wednesday, we set aside an hour for The Writing Room — the perfect space to focus on your own goals, whether that’s editing, reading, or writing, all while surrounded by other writers to help keep procrastination at bay.
We round things off with Critique Club, your chance to get feedback on your work from our in-house (and occasional guest) authors and fellow members.
Please note: For the month of November, The Writing Room will become The Writing Retreat and take place every weekday!
Our weekly sessions are the perfect time to dedicate yourself to whatever project you’re working on, whether it’s plotting, tackling course homework, editing a messy first draft, or crafting that elusive perfect query letter.
You’ll be in safe hands with the Jericho team and other members as we create a space of focus, accountability, and encouragement to keep procrastination at bay and get real work done.
We kick off each hour-long session by sharing our individual goals before getting our heads down to write. It’s not all peace and quiet though, the chat box is always there if you need to ask a question or get some quick feedback. At the end, we review our goals, celebrate our progress, and embrace the tangents and surprises that come with the writing process.
And it doesn’t have to end there, join us over on Townhouse to keep the motivation going, share your progress, and be part of the community that keeps you writing.
Traditionally held on the last Wednesday of every month, Critique Club is the more interactive sister of the Writing Room. We’ll be giving you the chance to read an extract from your work-in-progress in front of a live audience of writers and receive feedback.
Premium members can submit up to 400 words from anywhere within their manuscript. To read the full submission guidelines, download the submission template here.
Information for attendees
Even if you weren’t picked to read this month, don’t fret — we do go back through old submissions and use them for upcoming dates. Submissions are always open, and we welcome you to submit again, but please make sure not to submit the same excerpt unless you’ve significantly changed it, or feel free to send us something new!
There’s still an incredible amount of value in attending, as watching someone else’s work get critiqued live will often help you settle your own writing problems. It’s very common for writers to hit the same roadblocks as each other. As well as this, we do turn to the audience for their feedback too!
For both accessibility and the ease of those attending, a read-along document will be shared that contains all the excerpts from the session.
Information for readers
If you are chosen to read your submitted excerpt at Critique Club, you will be contacted around seven days before the live session takes place.
We will email you to confirm your attendance, ask whether you have made any significant changes to your submission since you sent it, and whether you are happy to read it live. Although we prefer our readers to read their work themselves, we are happy to do so on their behalf.
After 24 hours of us sending out the acceptance email, your excerpt will be passed on to our reading panel. This means we can no longer accept any edits or changes. The reading panel is made up of authors who are part of the Jericho Writers team, as well as the occasional extra special guest.
During the session itself, you will have, on average, 12 minutes to read and get feedback. As we have five other readers, we like to keep the evening tight so everyone gets a fair chance.
Don’t worry about taking notes on your feedback during the session — just enjoy the experience. The session will be recorded, so you will be able to watch it back a few days after the event.
Join us for our regular ‘Ask Jericho Writers Anything’ event that takes place once a month via Zoom.
This is a great opportunity to get to know fellow members from around the world and ask your burning writing and publishing questions!
Although the session is live, Premium Members can submit questions ahead of the event using the form below.
