Feedback on the Agent One-to-One service

We’ve offered over 4800 Agent One-to-One Sessions since 2020. Here are just a few comments from authors who have taken the plunge and received one-to-one feedback…

A balance of encouragement and sound advice was delivered without fuss, so as to make the most of the time. I feel more prepared, now, to make a submission to an agent.

Suzy H

Booked with Amanda Preston

Amanda was great. She was enthusiastic, authoritative and obviously hugely knowledgeable about the market. She gave me some really useful practical tips.

Alan J

Booked with Amanda Preston

Excellent feedback that made total sense with bags of added value. Please send my thanks to Amanda as she had clearly read my submission and gave me some great ideas and comps to read/watch.

Sarah O

Booked with Amanda Preston

Camille was very encouraging and supportive. She told me exactly what was good, what needed improvement and what I needed to do.

Dawn A

Booked with Camille Burns

(Ciara) was warm and exceedingly helpful. Of all the different services online and off, this would have to be one of the most useful supports to a novice writer.

Katherine D

Booked with Ciara Finan

Clara had clearly looked at my materials and gave me some direct feedback on the bits that didn’t work for her. When I asked for honest answers, she gave them. I have used this feedback to hone my second round of submissions.

Hector S

Booked with Clara Foster

Clara was very helpful in enabling me to steer between the various elements of contradictory advice I had received from different sources with respect to querying.

Robin W

Booked with Clara Foster

Danielle was tremendously helpful. Her comments were very much to the point, and well explained. It was easy to ask questions, and I picked up things I could only learn from talking to an agent directly.

Paul G

Booked with Danielle Bukowski

(Danielle) had great tips on improving my query package that were clear and simple but highly effective. I’ve gotten 5 full requests in a week.

Monica R

Booked with Danielle Bukowski

Elinor had clearly read my work and had very concrete, specific feedback that was easily actionable. She was also very friendly!

Alison C

Booked with Elinor Davies

Elinor gave me some very good advice on my next submission options as well as great feedback on the material I submitted. I feel I have already made improvements to my book, as well as being reassured I’m doing the right thing.

Marina M

Booked with Elinor Davies

Elinor was fantastic! The 121 call was incredibly insightful and helpful. By the end of the 15 minutes, I felt confident and clear about my submission package and have since queried 20 agents, and one has already requested my full MS!

Stephanie R

Booked with Elinor Davies

It was well structured and balanced with both really great encouragement and constructive feedback – it was clear she had taken the time to read it thoroughly.

Jennifer T

Booked with Elinor Davies

It was a really good discussion and I was able to flesh out my query and expand on aspects of my book.

Lisa R

Booked with Gyamfia Osei

Hannah gave me really thoughtful and helpful feedback, on both my letter and my book as a whole. She couldn’t have been more lovely.

Lisa H

Booked with Hannah Schofield

Hannah’s advice will help me save time … I definitely advise this. Maybe I was particularly lucky with my choice of Hannah, but it was twice as I hoped it would be.

Mark N

Booked with Hannah Schofield

Helen Lane was refreshingly direct and concise in her feedback. She clearly understands what needs to be addressed, and her guidance was both practical and constructive.

Steve H

Booked with Helen Lane

Helen talked very quickly and flooded me with very helpful and constructive feedback. I wrote lots of notes. She called out specific aspects of the submission pack as well as more general feedback around title, etc.

Jason H

Booked with Helen Lane

Imogen packed a lot into 15 minutes. She was encouraging and gave me clear pointers as to where I could improve my work. Imogen was professional and well prepared.

Noelle R

Booked with Imogen Pelham

I was blown away by the ground we covered in just fifteen minutes in my one-to-one … Imogen gave small but hugely significant feedback on all aspects of my submission package, and it’s definitely better for the many tweaks I’ve made as a result.

Jackie B

Booked with Imogen Pelham

Jane was extremely helpful, and I feel I learnt a great deal. She gave me lots of specific suggestions to improve the submission package, and explained the reasons for her suggestions clearly.

Paul G

Booked with Jane Chun

(Jo) was really helpful … As a result of the call, I’m self-publishing my current novel, but will be seeking an agent for the next one, starting with Jo Williamson!

Jo F

Booked with Jo Williamson

I asked if we could start with the writing, which (Jo) was perfectly happy to agree to. She was clear and precise about what changes should be made and why, and she made me see that something I was trying to do was hamstringing my opening.

Tracey B

Booked with Jo Williamson

It was brilliant! Jo brought such energy and positivity and was very thorough and thoughtful in her feedback.

Maxine P

Booked with Jo Williamson

I found the call immensely helpful. Jon had clearly read everything properly and had taken time to give me lots of useful guidance and reassurance. Excellent value for money.

Lorraine F-T

Booked with Jon Curzon

The feedback was very specific and direct. The advice was sound and logical. Jon also gave me useful industry insight. I think the session provided valuable feedback that is worth every penny.

Dina A

Booked with Jon Curzon

My one to one with Julie Crisp was worth every penny, she crammed a lot of amazing advice into 15 minutes and I can’t thank Jericho Writers enough for providing such a brilliant opportunity.

Tami E

Booked with Julie Crisp

Laura had lots of really useful and focused advice which was exactly what I needed. … It was amazing how much I was able to take away from just 15 minutes. By the end I felt confident about improving the submission package.

Julian J

Booked with Laura Williams

My call with Laura Williams was extremely helpful and encouraging. Laura’s manner was down to earth, friendly and professional.

Jo M

Booked with Laura Williams

I had my session with an agent who I’d recently submitted to via the slush pile, and she was able to tell me why she’d rejected my novel, which was invaluable!

K Grant

Booked with Laura Williams

Thank you for the opportunity to talk to Liza DeBlock last week. She was warm, helpful and liked my work. What more can one ask?

Nola D

Booked with Liza DeBlock

I was very pleased with my one-to-one … (Liza) gave me helpful advice about the next steps, including on whether to self-publish or not. Getting advice from industry professionals is like gold-dust, so thank you for offering this opportunity.

Elaine G

Booked with Liza DeBlock

(Marilia) gave me excellent advice about how to target my submissions and advice on comparative titles. She was very supportive in assuring me that my manuscript was good enough.

Charlotte S

Booked with Marilia Savvides

The call was only short but she shared so much with me, and I have been able to action all of her points. I now feel much happier with my submission.

Georgia S

Booked with Megan Carroll

I have very rarely felt so entirely comfortable speaking to a professional in this industry. (Megan) was neither overly complimentary nor overly dismissive, instead providing real expertise in a very accessible way.

Robin W

Booked with Megan Carroll

Megan helped me re-visit the way I start my story, thinking from a young reader’s perspective … she also gave me some useful tips and advice related to word count and what the current market expectations are for this age group.

Shirish J

Booked with Megan Carroll

Nat went over and above what was expected. Her insight was invaluable and her genuine interest in the success of the project was refreshing. She is an absolute star.

Anonymous

Booked with Natalie Kimber

Ruth C-I

Silvia gave me some good feedback and was very encouraging regarding my project. These 121s are fabulous.

Emma H

Booked with Silvia Molteni

Silvia was very generous with her feedback and comments. She gave some great advice.

Jane M

Booked with Silvia Molteni

Lovely chat – well worth the wait! Very considered, thoughtful… not rushing the conversation. Happy to chat through her thoughts on things.

Rachel D

Booked with Soumeya Roberts

It was reassuring to have feedback from a professional in the business who put me at ease and was able to answer questions related to the industry.

Naomi D

Booked with Thérèse Coen

It was my first agent 1:1 and Therese was lovely; all my questions were answered, and I was delighted when at the end she asked me to send her my full manuscript!

Claire C

New Agent One-to-One Sessions are added to the website every two months with the update taking place on the first Monday of the month, though we may release sessions outside this schedule as agents express their availability to us. Sessions release dates usually take place in the following months: December, February, April, June, August and October.

You can check a list of agents currently participating in the service here.

If most of the agents on the list are sold out and the first Monday of the month has passed, that’s usually a good sign that new sessions are due to drop the following month, but you can get in touch at 121@jerichowriters.com if you would like to check.

All sessions must be booked at least 1 week in advance to allow time for your uploaded files to be received and reviewed. However, some of our most in-demand agents can sell out more than 2 months ahead of their sessions, so we recommend booking in early to avoid disappointment.
