How will the agent contact me?
Your session will be held over the phone, using the number provided at checkout. If you will be unable to receive a phone call, please contact 121@jerichowriters.com at least one week before your session so that we can make suitable arrangements.
How can I check that my booking has been confirmed?
If your booking was successful, your booking page should show the time and date of your session. If this is not the case, please get in touch with 121@jerichowriters.com and let us know which session you would like to book.
What will I need to upload?
You will need to upload three separate Word documents: your query letter, your synopsis, and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript. You can upload these via your booking page. Files must be uploaded no later than one week before the session.
I’m an author of non-fiction/picture books and I don’t have a synopsis – what should I do?
Generally, agents will be happy to receive a book proposal or a second picture book manuscript in place of a synopsis. If you would rather leave this section blank, please let us know at 121@jerichowriters.com so we can ensure your files will still reach your chosen agent.
How can I change my phone number?
You will be contacted via the phone number provided at checkout. If you need to change this then let us know at 121@jerichowriters.com no later than one week before your session.
When will I receive my test call?
We aim to ring you within 48 hours of your session to test your phone number. If you miss the test call we will leave you a voicemail and get in touch by email instead.
Can I change the date/time of my session?
We try to accommodate re-scheduling where possible, though this depends on the availability of your chosen agent. Please contact 121@jerichowriters.com so we can make arrangements.
How can I cancel my session?
Please email 121@jerichowriters.com no later than two weeks before your session. Depending on your preference, we can either issue a refund or leave your booking vacant until you are ready to book again. Since we need sufficient time to re-sell your session you will not be entitled to a refund or re-booking if you cancel after the two-week deadline.
Can I change the agent I have booked with?
Please email 121@jerichowriters.com and we can help you select a different agent. As with session cancellations, these requests must be made no later than two weeks before your booked session.
When will new sessions be made available?
We add new One-to-One sessions to the website on the first Monday of every month.
I wasn’t happy with my session; what can I do?
We’re sorry to hear that. While we do not take responsibility for the opinions expressed by agents during these sessions, we hate to think of anyone left feeling disheartened. If something was particularly distressing, please email 121@jerichowriters.com so we can look into it.
