Jericho Writers review

Jericho Writers is built for writers who want to finish a novel and get it to an agent. The free tier, called Townhouse, is an online community where you can share progress in the forums, swap chapters, find beta readers and critique partners, and post extracts in Feedback Friday. Premium Membership adds live online events with published authors and literary agents, weekly writing sprints and accountability groups, a monthly Critique Club, 13 self-paced video courses, monthly Q&As with literary agents, a searchable database of 1,400+ agents, a free query letter review and free entry to its competitions. The company is based in London, has a US phone line and lists prices in pounds on its membership page, so we could not confirm a US dollar price as of November 2026. Live events are scheduled on UK time. Jericho also sells longer courses, such as its Ultimate Novel Writing Programme, and editorial services like manuscript assessments, which are priced separately from membership.
