Getting Published Month
Getting Published Month
Need a foot in the publishing door? We’re here to help.
Our annual Getting Published Month connects writers across the world with top agents, publishers and authors through a series of live interactive online events. It’s totally free for Premium Members. If you’re not ready to commit to a full year of Premium Membership, you can join us for Getting Published Month only for just £25 by signing up to our Flex membership.
Your Getting Published Month Line-Up
Join us for a month of events featuring top literary agents, authors and publishers to help you get your foot in the door. With workshops and opportunities for feedback, you’ll finish the month with a query-ready submission package.
Improve your chances of success in one month
The focus of this month is providing you actionable feedback that will see you end the month with a completed submission package and strong opening pages so you can snag that agent or publisher of your dreams. You’ll be invited to share your work each week in our Feedback Friday forums on Townhouse where other members will give you feedback. We’ll also select pieces from each week to be critiqued during live events by the experts.

When you join us as a Premium Member, you’re joining one of the biggest and most welcoming writing communities in the world. Alongside our fantastic array of events, you’ll be able to access all our other benefits including 280+ masterclasses, interactive video courses, AgentMatch, personalised feedback on your query letter, discounted editorial services and much more.

Frequently asked
questions
Can I attend the events without being a Premium Member?
No, we hold this event for our Premium Members only. But, you can join us just for the month by taking our a Flex Membership for £25. 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.
I’m not based in the UK. Will Getting Published Month still be worth it for me?
Yes, absolutely. Most events are held at 19:00 GMT but if you can’t make them live, you can always watch on replay. We have members from all over the world and would love for you to join us.
I already have my submission pack ready to go. Will the events 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.
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!
I’m hoping to self-publish. Will the events be right for me?
This event 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, so it could be worth your while attending. As well as Getting Published Month, our Premium Membership has many resources for those hoping to self-publish, so you’ll definitely find tools to help you on your way.

We offer two membership plans for Premium Membership:
