Can I attend the events without being a Premium Member?
No, Build Your Book Month events are for our Premium Members only. However, you can come along to our first event for free by registering on the Build Your Book Month page.
To join, you can purchase one of our membership options. If you would just like to join just for Build Your Book Month, you can purchase a Flex Membership for £25. Once the month is up, you’re free to cancel (though we hope you’ll stay!). Please be aware if you choose the Flex membership option and wish to cancel after one month, we recommend purchasing on 1 October to ensure you get the full Build Your Book Month experience before your 30 day access ends. It’s more cost effective to join us for a whole year, which you can do here.
I’m not based in the UK. Will Build Your Book Month still be worth it for me?
Yes, absolutely. Most events are held at 19:00 BST/GMT but if you can’t make them live, you can always watch on replay. We have members from all over the world and would love for you to join us.
I already have the plot for my novel ready to go. Will the events be right for me?
Yes, definitely. You’ll have the chance to share what you’re working on with us, and your fellow members, before you move forward with your project so that you can polish things up as much as possible.
I’m not ready to share my work. Do I have to?
No, of course not! Though we encourage all our members to share their work, we understand it’s not for everyone. The best way you can improve your work is by opening it up to feedback, but if you’re not ready for that, that’s fine. You are encouraged to get involved in giving feedback to others but it’s definitely not compulsory!
What genres are suitable for taking part in Build Your Book Month?
Build Your Book Month is primarily aimed at writers working on novels of all genres and age categories. We’ll be working on our stories from the beginning right through to the end as well as looking at subplots, plot twists and more. If you are writing creative non-fiction, we think Build Your Book Month will be suitable, but perhaps not for other types of non-fiction.
I’m a Premium Member and I can’t register for the events.
Make sure you are logged in with the account associated with your membership. You can login here and then return to the Build Your Book Month page. If you are still having issues, please email us at info@jerichowriters.com.
I have a question that hasn’t been answered. How do I contact you?
