Four ways to get published this Getting Published month
It’s Getting Published month at Jericho Writers! 
We’ve got a whole MONTH of brilliant events lines up exclusively for members this March focusing on traditional publishing. In this newsletter, we’ll quadruple your opportunities by focusing on four different ways you can get your book in front of readers. Remember, all you need to do to join every event in Getting Published Month is become a member of Jericho Writers.  
WEBINARS: A Case for Publishing (FREE for members)

How to get traditionally published the ‘non-traditional’ way 
When we think of traditional publishing, we often think of the route where an author gets an agent – that agent lands them a publishing deal at a large publisher – and they go on to publish multiple books with that same publisher. But not all traditional publishing deals look like that. And I think this is a particularly important thing to normalise for writers, as there are so many more opportunities available to us to get our work in front of readers.  
Take digital publishing for example. This has boomed so much in the last decade, several publishers now skip the need for physical books altogether and publish straight to eBook. In Thursday’s webinar, you’ll hear from our own Sophie Flynn who landed one such deal with a Big 5 publisher before she even had an agent.  
There are also smaller independent presses, such as Granta above. You don’t always need an agent to submit to a small press either. And this doesn’t make them any less worthy of a deal – many indie publishers go on to sell more copies than some Big 5 deals.  
There are also publishing deals via competitions; non-fiction direct pitches to publishers; hybrid publishing; storytelling using non-book media; and more. If you want to learn more about these, do pop along to Thursday’s webinar, or watch it on replay next week.  
Meanwhile – what non-traditional traditional deals are you aware of? Have you spotted an interesting publishing opportunity recently? Join for free and share in the Townhouse here.
