Our success stories

We can currently verify more than 400 success stories from writers we’ve supported, from Big Five publishing deals and major literary prizes to independent presses, digital-first publishers and successful self-publishing. And we know there are many more.

A few of our success stories

From million-copy bestsellers and six-figure deals to prize-winning debuts and self-publishing success, our writers have taken many different routes to publication.

Every route to publication

There is no single route to writing success. Writers we’ve supported have gone on to publish with the world’s biggest publishing groups, respected independent presses and leading digital-first publishers, while others have built successful careers by publishing their own work.

Big 5 & major publishers

Big 5 & major publishers

Our writers have secured deals with major publishers including Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hachette, Pan Macmillan and Orion. Examples: Amanda Berriman; Philippa East; Hamish Morjaria; Aisha Hassan; Marvellous Michael Anson; Claire McGlasson.

Independent publishers

Independent publishers

Success is not limited to the biggest publishing groups. Jericho writers have also been published by respected independent presses. Examples: Eleanor Anstruther; Liz Webb; Sam Horton; Fiona Erskine.

Digital-first publishers

Digital-first publishers

Writers we’ve supported have secured multi-book deals with some of the strongest digital-first publishers in commercial fiction. Examples: Steffanie Edward; Helen Parusel; Ruby Speechley; S. J. King; Nicky Downes.

Self-publishing

Self-publishing

For some writers, success means publishing independently and building readers on their own terms. Examples: Tim O’Rourke; Chris Cutler; Chris Lofts; Gillian Butler; Nitin Nanji.

Real writers. Real results.

We’re proud to have supported thousands of writers on their publishing journeys. Read first-hand accounts from authors who have used Jericho Writers’ services, resources, and community to move closer to their goals.

I wanted to highlight the invaluable support and advice I’ve received from Emily in the writer support team who has spent time helping me develop and edit my query letter for agents.

Jericho, through Verity at Courses, took a real personal interest in my situation as an underrepresented writer … In my experience, Jericho does its utmost to help disadvantaged writers and takes a real personal interest in each case.

I sent technical questions to Jericho for advice today about computer brands and writing software. Jonny sent a clear and detailed response right away. Thanks, Jericho, for being there—I’m not alone!!

First experience of an event like this, and it more than met my expectations. Full of informative, well presented sessions and workshops plus two very helpful 1:1s with agents.

Everything I was hoping to find. The content was helpful to writers at many stages of development, the atmosphere was positive and supportive, and the staff were professional and passionate.

I have not enjoyed myself so much in years. Very friendly helpful people and enthusiastic attendees. Gained a lot of writing tips and snagged an agent.

Dave C

Festival of Writing attendee

Well-organised event for writers with a strong line-up of workshops and in person 10 min agent 1-1s. Impressed that team have listened to feedback on past events and this was much slicker and professional.
