One-to-one sessions last fifteen minutes.
When will my session take place?
After purchasing a session, use the booking link in your confirmation email to book a date and time with the agent of your choice. All times listed on the booking page are given in 24-hour UK time (GMT, UTC+0). Leave fifteen minutes of leeway to account for any delays in the agent’s schedule.
How will the agent contact me?
Your session will be held over the phone, using the number provided at checkout. If you will be unable to receive a phone call, please contact 121@jerichowriters.com at least one week before your session so that we can make suitable arrangements.
How can I check that my booking has been confirmed?
If your booking was successful, your booking page should show the time and date of your session. If this is not the case, please get in touch with 121@jerichowriters.com and let us know which session you would like to book.
What will I need to upload?
You will need to upload three separate Word documents: your query letter, your synopsis, and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript. You can upload these via your booking page. Files must be uploaded no later than one week before the session.
I’m an author of non-fiction/picture books and I don’t have a synopsis – what should I do?
Generally, agents will be happy to receive a book proposal or a second picture book manuscript in place of a synopsis. If you would rather leave this section blank, please let us know at 121@jerichowriters.com so we can ensure your files will still reach your chosen agent.

How can I cancel my session?
Please email 121@jerichowriters.com no later than two weeks before your session. Depending on your preference, we can either issue a refund or leave your booking vacant until you are ready to book again. Since we need sufficient time to re-sell your session you will not be entitled to a refund or re-booking if you cancel after the two-week deadline.
Can I change the agent I have booked with?
Please email 121@jerichowriters.com and we can help you select a different agent. As with session cancellations, these requests must be made no later than two weeks before your booked session.

I wasn’t happy with my session; what can I do?
We’re sorry to hear that. While we do not take responsibility for the opinions expressed by agents during these sessions, we hate to think of anyone left feeling disheartened. If something was particularly distressing, please email 121@jerichowriters.com so we can look into it.
Can I contact an agent with follow-up questions?
We do not recommend directly contacting an agent after an Agent One-to-One Session unless you have been invited to. Instead, if there is anything you were unsure of in your call or a detail you’d like to check, please contact 121@jerichowriters.com and we’ll do what we can to help, which may include reaching out to the agent on your behalf.
I loved my session; how can I tell others about it?
