From ‘insider knowledge’ to juicy hints and tips that you’d only find out from listening to an agent or publisher, it was all really invigorating.

Hazel C

Given I spend all day either delivering webinars or in meetings online, the fact that I am keen to jump on at 7pm speaks volumes about the relevance and value of your sessions.

Becki H

It is an amazing experience to feel part of an exchange of views with other Jericho writers and ‘would be’ writers. Writing can be a lonely business but suddenly there are so many others out there with the same queries and opinions!

Come armed with descriptions of your books and allow Ella and Susan to help prescribe your comparative titles.
