JULIA BURROWS - COURSE DEVELOPER
This course has been developed by Julia Burrows, a pattern cutter and apparel designer who worked as a successful designer and pattern cutter for 30 years on several brand ranges in South Africa and for suppliers to Marks & Spencers in Britain. She has since taught pattern cutting and manufacturing for Fashion Enter in North London and with Textiles Skills Centre, for whom she has developed several online courses.
What past student have said about Julia: 
"Julia has taught me more in ten weeks than I thought possible. I wish I had done this course before I studied my BA" - Sharon 
"I new absolutely nothing about pattern making and sewing when I started attending Julia's classes. I have learned so much, which has given me the skills and confidence to start my own clothing line . I am happy doing what I have always loved and dream to achieve, all thanks to Julia! - Anthea



Imagine what it’s like to be able to make designs for yourself or for a specific person/client.
Learn how to take measurements correctly, whether of you, your dress form, or a customer, these courses will teach you how to do that, step-by-step for a Basic Skirt Block. 
This course is aimed at beginners who want to learn how to draft a Basic Skirt. It is also useful for intermediate designers who want to learn how to measure the body, and draft a pattern to these measurements. Advanced designers may also find this useful, especially those wanting to make “made-to-order” designs to fit specific customers.

There are no prerequisites for the course but you will need the following tools:
Tape measure,
Pattern paper
Pencil
Ruler
Tracing wheel
Scissors
French curve and/or hip curve
A Mannequin/Dress Form would be useful.



Why should you learn how to draft using measurements?
Empowerment. There's a profound sense of empowerment in realising that you have the ability to create garments tailored specifically to fit you, or to design for a particular individual. These courses will also give you the skill to teach to others.
Julia's courses are designed to cultivate the skills necessary to excel as a clothing designer. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned professional, the journey of learning and refining design techniques is perpetual. Continual growth is crucial, even for those well-versed in the fundamentals of fashion design, as it broadens understanding of the industry as a whole.
Whether fashion design is a passion or a source of income, these courses offer the tools to boost confidence and elevate design prowess. Whether assembling your inaugural fashion design portfolio, launching a fashion website, or mastering the art of marketing your fashion line, these courses provide the means to achieve these goals, all while circumventing the hefty costs of traditional tuition.

She has recently launched her own agency, PSA Ltd where she represents authors in both non-fiction and fiction across the literary-commercial spectrum. Her authors are prize winners and those whose books have been optioned for tv and film, from journalists to actors, lawyers to martial artists, her list is extremely varied and she wouldn't have it any other way. 

In fiction Philippa would like to see big stories, whether that's a commercial rom-com or a literary inter-generational bildungsroman. She loves character-driven novels, authentic voices in richly-drawn locations. 

On the non-fiction side, Philippa would love to find unique narratives from experts in their field, beautiful memoirs from those who've lived an extraordinary life, histories, science explorations, or ecological deep dives. 

Philippa does not represent sci-fi, fantasy or children's books.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION

Upon joining Curtis Brown in 2018, Ciara Finan worked with senior agents Jonny Geller and Sheila Crowley on their lists of bestselling and prize-winning authors such as Lisa Jewell, Susanna Clarke, David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Nigella Lawson. Now as an agent she is representing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction writers.

Ciara would consider her reading tastes to be quite broad and ever-growing, but is constantly drawn to books that have a decisive voice, unforgettable characters, an unexpected story, or can subvert and reconstruct the conventional narratives of love, friendship, family, loss and coming-of-age. In particular, she is looking for Adult and YA fantasy and romantasy, rom-coms and book club romance.

In the wider fantasy genre, Ciara is keen on finding romantasy, cozy fantasy, dark/light academia, and anything with political intrigue. She seeks novels that will keep her reading into the early hours of the morning. She wants to be consumed by the world, the plot and the characters. Think authors like Leigh Bardugo, Tamsyn Muir, R.F. Kuang, Sangu Mandanna, Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Deborah Harkness, Chloe Gong, Ava Reid or Sabaa Tahir.

In romcoms and romance, Ciara is looking for something that explores the complicated nature of romantic relationships - think Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid. She would love to find a brilliantly witty workplace romance or anything that will leave her in tears.

Ciara would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 -2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Ciara is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).

BOOKINGS CLOSED! for 31st March Nicky Lovick #Agent121. Looking for: ADULT FICTION

This course offers a dynamic introduction to Globalization and the Global Political Economy (GPE), exploring the intricate relationship between political actors and the global economic marketplace. Through a theoretically rich and historically grounded lens, you’ll examine the development, operations, and future trajectory of the global political economy.

You’ll learn to apply diverse theoretical frameworks to critically analyze global economic processes. 

The course begins with an in-depth look at foundational GPE perspectives—mercantilism, liberalism, and structuralism—each built on distinct assumptions that shape our understanding of global economic events. 

From there, we’ll investigate the international "structures" of production, trade, finance, and knowledge, addressing critical questions: Who controls these structures, and to what end? What rules govern international trade? How do institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and multinational corporations shape global flows of goods and investment? Who benefits from controlling knowledge?

The course culminates with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, highlighting the rise of new economic and political power centers and their evolving roles in the world.
The course concludes with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, spotlighting the emergence of new economic and political power centers, such as BRICS, and their evolving roles in the world.

We’ll also examine how the United States under Donald Trump shifted from traditional liberal internationalism toward more transactional and bilateral approaches, reshaping global relationships and challenging established norms

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Analyze the major political themes in the historical evolution of the international economy.
Understand debates surrounding the emergence and impacts of a globalized economy, including patterns of inequality.

Security lies at the heart of international relations, driving critical debates in an increasingly volatile world.  This course provides a dynamic introduction to contemporary security studies, blending key concepts, theories, and real-world challenges. 

Participants will explore the evolution of security—from traditional state-centric models to expansive frameworks like human security—while analyzing the shifting global order.
The Western-led multilateral system, once a beacon of post-Cold War collaboration, is under strain. 

With Trump’s victory marking the decline of the U.S.-led postwar order, this course investigates how these tectonic shifts redefine international security. 

Delivered in two parts, it combines rigorous theory with practical insight:

Part One: Master foundational theories—realism (anarchy, power, war), liberalism (order, institutions), and constructivism (human dimensions)—alongside critical lenses like post-Marxist and post-structuralist perspectives.

Part Two: Apply these frameworks to today’s pressing issues through case studies, revealing the multifaceted nature of global security.

Participants will hone sharp analytical skills, learning to research and assess security challenges using academic frameworks and open-source tools. The course also fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and persuasive communication, equipping you to engage confidently in international security debates.

Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end, you will:
