The Jericho Writers Virtual Writing Retreat

Write your book this November… together.

This November, we’re turning writing into a team sport. Join hundreds of writers from around the world for the Jericho Writers Virtual Writing Retreat: a month-long experience designed to keep you motivated, accountable, and actually writing.

Every weekday, we’ll meet on Zoom for live writing sprints hosted by the Jericho team. You’ll track your progress, cheer each other on, and climb the community leaderboard as your word count grows. There are even prizes up for grabs!

I’m not a Premium Member. Can I still join in?

You’ll still be able to update your wordcount here and get involved in the forums, but the Zoom writing sprints (in addition to all the other live online events and workshops) are just for Premium Members. To get the full experience, upgrade to Premium Membership here.

What are the prizes?

We have 3 opportunities to win a written critique on up to 500 words of your choosing. You can win by…

  • Being the person with the top leaderboard position for words written by midnight on 30 November (BST)
  • Attending every one of the live Zoom Writing Rooms throughout November (held at either 4pm or 7pm BST every weekday)
  • Being nominated by another member for being super supportive or just generally a great writing buddy
