March is Getting Published Month!
Every year, Jericho Writers joins some of the biggest agents and publishers with writers for our Getting Published Day.

Even better ‚Äì we’re giving all of this completely FREE to members of Jericho Writers. There‚Äôs never been a better time to hop on board!¬†

What to look forward to in Getting Published month 
Our Getting Published events are a personal highlight for me, as it was during one such event in 2017 that I met my agent after twelve years of back-to-back rejection. So I am SO EXCITED to see a whole month of online events that could well open that very same door for you. Here’s my round-up of what’s to come.  
As with all good Getting Published events, there are a smattering of sessions focusing on polishing your manuscript (this is, after all, the thing that will determine your deal). We have the brilliant Debi Alper on Managing Expectations (never to be missed), and Helen Richardson on Getting Ready for Publication, which will cover the steps you can do now to help you publicise your book later (you’ll thank yourself for going to that one!) 
We also have webinars about the nuts-and-bolts of getting an agent, including a webinar from world-leading agent Juliet Mushens on crafting your submission package; Harry Bingham’s ever-popular interactive event on elevator pitches; and a special one going through the full process of using AgentMatch (which is included as part of a membership). Add onto that the opportunity to pitch your work to agents at a special US-edition of Slushpile Live and one-to-ones opening again soon (watch this space!). 
Of course, getting published isn’t all about agents. Learn about the other routes to publication in A Case for Publishing; find out about author funding and competitions with Katy Massey, and how other members have done it in our special Inspiring Jericho Stories event.  
You can see the full list of webinars here – all you need to do to access all of them is become a member for a month or a year. I can’t wait to see the success stories that come out of this one. I promise you – they really do happen.
