I used Jericho's Poetry Review service

I used Jericho's Poetry Review service. The report I got back answered every question I had in my head about what to take forward, what to give up and what to improve. I really am delighted at the excellent, thought provoking feedback. I will definitely be going forward with a post editorial review and mentoring service in the near future.

The best help a budding author could have!

I would not be where I am today as a published author if it were not for Jericho Writers. They provided me with a limitless treasure trove of top-tier information, instruction, feedback, and guidance. Through their membership, I received access to incredible writing courses, mentorship programs, information on publishing standards and professionalism in the field, and so much more. I am forever grateful for their services and will continue to be a part of their community.

Best advice Ever!

Best advice for writers, authors, perspective. The weekly emails are full of valuable guidance. Harry is humorous and extremely knowledgeable. The free courses and online information is above and beyond the best. Jerucho Writers has highly trained, skilled and published staff who offer incredible support to elevate your writing and give you everything you need to publish your work.

Worth their weight in gold!

I am really enjoying my premium membership with Jericho Writers. I took all the advice I could find on how to compose a non fiction proposal and booked a one-to-one with a literary agent. With her advice and an agent found via their Agent-Match service, I sent off a tweaked submission letter late at night. He was in my inbox by 11 am., asking for a full manuscript! I would recommend Jericho to any new author.

An absolute goldmine of succinct, practical information

An absolute goldmine of succinct, practical information on writing fiction and non fiction, by a team of successful writers. Extensive library of videos and reference material, opportunity to share your work and give feedback to others. Great guest workshops, competitions and information about the changing state of the market. Really supportive and encouraging to writers at all stages and levels. Have been a member for several years and am a loyal fan!

Ultimate Novel Writing Course (UNWC) is simply the best.

Ultimate Novel Writing Course (UNWC) from Jericho Writers is truly 'the ultimate'. The tutors are fantastic and the admin team is equally great. I have tried other courses, but nothing compares. A very special 'thank you' to Lindsey Alexander - tutor, mentor, philosopher and guide. Kat Ashton (Head of Courses) is just outstanding: a consummate professional, patient and caring, and a font of knowledge and useful information, as well. Jericho Writers is simply the best.

Wonderful Experience with Jericho Writers

Becoming a Premium Member of Jericho Writers was one of the best decisions I’ve made with regard to the writing and publishing process. As a member, I looked forward to the weekly Writing Room sessions for all the support and encouragement from the team and other writers, all the webinars and master classes that provided an incredible array of information, and the Ask Jericho Anything sessions that helped to fill in the gaps. Being able to view the webinars at my own pace and on my own schedule was ideal, especially when I couldn’t participate in a live event for some reason.

In addition to the benefits that are included with Premium Membership, I took advantage of the manuscript assessment, copy-editing, and mentoring one-on-one sessions, all of which gave me the feedback, encouragement, and confidence to eventually self-publish my debut novel.

The staff - all writers themselves - are incredibly responsive and go out of their way to be helpful and supportive. I wish I’d found Harry Bingham and Jericho Writers sooner; however, I’m happy that they’ll still be there as I begin the next book in my series.

If you’re considering Premium Membership with Jericho and are serious about the craft of writing and getting published, whether traditional or indie, it’s well worth the very reasonable monthly membership cost, in my opinion. Good luck and happy writing!

Jericho Writers are a writer's best ally!

Jericho Writers are any new, or existing, author's best ally in the publishing industry. They always do what they say they'll do! They're helpful, honest and really want members' books to succeed, whether fiction, or non-fiction, and bring them to a worldwide audience.

Harry Bingham, (a very successful author) is the CEO, and he actually responds to emails. Wow, how rare is that?! I've been a member for 3 years and have every confidence that my second non-fiction book will sell well, because of all their help :)

Very disappointed by this inadequate response

Very disappointed by this, my first enquiry about book subject orientation in about 3 years' of membership. Instead of receiving a considered reply from your experts, I was guided to Amazon and my local library! This is so very basic and straightforward to do, and was not the pertinent information I was asking for. I wouldn't have minded waiting 2 weeks for a response, instead of which I was given this 'bog standard' response which I could have originated myself in 10 minutes flat. Simply not up to c. £195 p.a. subscription.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with the response to your query and wanted to take the opportunity to explain further.

Your enquiry included a request for guidance on books or publications that are satirical or abusive towards UK Prime Ministers, as well as our opinions on political matters, such as whether public figures should tolerate a degree of abuse and whether authors are too reserved in critiquing the government. While we always aim to provide helpful advice, these requests fall outside the scope of the support we offer.

As a service dedicated to helping writers with their craft, editing, and publishing goals, we focus on providing practical guidance directly related to the writing and publishing process. Given the nature of your query, we were unable to provide the kind of detailed response you were hoping for. However, we did offer suggestions on how to search for the types of books you were looking for, as well as give advice on self-publishing as requested, which we hope was helpful.

We’re sorry if our response didn’t fully meet your expectations, but we’re always happy to help with writing-related queries in the future.

Jericho Writers is first-rate.

I've had two manuscript assessments with JW and, as well as being very reasonably priced, they have been invaluable in helping me improve my novel, something which I didn't find elsewhere. Very helpful staff too. I thoroughly recommend JW.

Once again punctual and prepared for my telephone appointment. Verity described 2 courses that I am interested in, with all information requested. I was also informed to make a further telephone appointment when necessary. I have no qualms in accessing this available connection, despite being in my seventies!

Jericho Writers is excellent

Jericho Writers is excellent! That is the simplest thing I can say. I took the novel writing course, and not only was the tutor Emma Cooper excellent, so was the Jericho staff when there were any difficulties at all. I worked with Verity a number of times when I had any technical difficulty. She was patient, and helpful as was everyone I encountered at Jericho. I highly recommend this organization for their knowledge, expertise, and kind and patient helpfulness.

A truly wonderful organisation

Can't praise Jericho Writers highly enough. For a very reasonable fee you get access to tons of live events, online courses and Harry's Friday Emails, plus the opportunity to give and receive feedback with other aspiring writers. Highly recommended whether you are just beginning your writing journey, already a published author, or anywhere in between.

A key metric…

To me, one of the key metrics of a business is how quickly and effectively it replies to customer queries. Jericho Writers is great on both counts.

Great team!

I have found the team helpful, accessible, and keen to help resolve any issue. I have used the Query Letter feedback, which was very useful in highlighting areas of strength and weakness.
I have done multiple Write with Jericho courses, which have improved my writing skills and confidence each time.
I have also used the forum regularly to post for feedback and offered feedback in return. Everyone is so supportive and helpful, which has proved invaluable to me.

Excellent editorial services

I have used Jericho Writers for various editorial services and each time they have been brilliant. This latest time was for copy-editing of my second novel, Motherhood, and the editor (Jo Hall) said my MS was so tidy that all she needed to do was proofread it -- so I got a partial refund! Jo was eagle-eyed and didn't miss a thing, leaving me with a polished, professional-level MS that was fit to publish.
