Self-Editing Course Bursary

With thanks to tutors Debi Alper and Emma Darwin, we’re able to offer a fully-funded place for an under-represented writer on our most popular tutored course – Self Editing Your Novel.

This six-week online course will give you all the self-editing skills you need to ensure your novel is as good as it can get, before pitching to agents, or self-publishing with confidence.

Every applicant for the Self-Editing Your Novel Course bursary will also be considered for a free annual membership to Jericho Writers!

We give out a minimum of three free memberships for each bursary course application – that’s a total of twelve free memberships – each year.

Previous alumni averaged an impressive 1-in-4 publication rate. Excited? So are we.

To apply for a bursary place on this course, you must:

• Have a finished draft of a novel. This can be in any genre, for any age group. It can be a first draft, or a tenth!
• Be available for the dates included in the six-week ‘Self-Edit Your Novel’ course. If you are not available this quarter, please wait until submissions open for the next quarter to apply for the following course.
• Be an under-represented writer.

We describe an under-represented writer as one or more of the following:

• Having a low household income.
• Being black, Asian or from a minority group.
• Being disabled.
• Being a primary carer.
• Being an ex-offender.
• Other.
