LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION

Marilia Savvides founded The Plot Agency in 2024. She began her career in publishing at Peters Fraser and Dunlop, where she spent eight years, first as International Rights Agent, and later as Literary Agent, building her own list of authors. In 2019, she joined 42MP, where she worked as Literary Agent for four years, helping to launch and set up the Book Division.

She is particularly interested in fiction that is beautifully written and cleverly constructed, but still accessible to a wide readership. She is often drawn to darker tales that weave together excellent characters and an impossible-to-put-down story, from immersive book club novels with a splash of suspense, crime and thrillers, accessible horror, and speculative, genre-bending or dystopian stories. She also adores smart, witty contemporary rom-com in the style of Emily Henry.

In the thriller, crime and mystery space she is interested in most areas, except military thrillers and organised crime/ mafia / mob stories. Big hooks and clever set ups are a big bonus! She adores Karin Slaughter (especially her standalone novels) and Gillian Flynn.
In the book club / reading group space, she’s particularly drawn to fiction in the vein of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng, and absolutely fell in love with Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, both for the incredible voice, and the exquisite use of structure and time. Complicated family dynamics, empathetic and smart approaches to controversial issues, stand out protagonists (like Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry or Bernadette in Where D’You Go Bernadette), long buried secrets, complicity, the road to justice, and impossible decisions, are all themes she finds herself drawn to.
In the horror space, she’s a sucker for amazing female-centric stories in the vein of Yellowjackets, and the kind of contemporary, accessible horror that Stephen King always nails. She wants to get lost in a world that feels within reach of ours. In the speculative and dystopian spaces, she’s interested in genius ideas that set up big questions or reflect the most broken (and sometimes hidden) parts of society. She loves Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and also adored The Leftovers, Station Eleven, Wanderers, and The Power. The what-ifs of life and fiction fascinate her. In the grounded sci-fi space, she’d love to find a smart, immersive, and accessible story like The Martian.
She doesn’t represent fantasy or romantasy. In regards to sci-fi, unless it’s very grounded and has crossover potential to a mainstream audience, it’s not for her.
In the romance space, she’s particularly drawn to smart, complex and witty characters, where the chemistry is jumping off the page. She loves contemporary settings and all the tropes, though the voice and characters must come first to make the reading experience fully immersive. She wants to be cackling, and rooting for the characters with all her heart.

She is very hands-on editorially, and loves working with her authors to shape their manuscripts, and brainstorm ideas. The best part of the job is discovering debut authors, and helping them find a home for their books.

<h2 style="color: rgb(1, 45, 113); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(1, 45, 113);">About this course</h2>Do you struggle to engage your lower attaining or EAL pupils in their history lessons? Are you finding it difficult to ensure and demonstrate progression in history with these pupils?According to Department for Education statistics, in 2020 there were 1.4 million pupils across the UK with identified special educational needs and this number is growing every year. Many of these pupils are in mainstream schools, where reporting shows pupils can have widely differing experiences and are more likely to have poorer outcomes relative to their peers. Ofsted has reported many strengths and weaknesses in SEND support. Among areas of weakness are a lack of curriculum well matched to pupil needs and effective collaboration between teachers, teaching assistants and parents.As evidence from the Education Endowment Fund supports, high quality teaching for pupils with SEND is often based upon strategies that most teachers will already have in their repertoires: scaffolding, explicit verbal interaction and instruction, cognition and metacognition, use of technology and collaboration.This full day session, aimed at history subject leaders in mainstream schools, will give you strategies and approaches to adapt, adopt and try in history. It will not provide all the answers, but you will leave the session with lots to think about and lots of practical ideas and advice to try in school and share with staff teaching history.The day will cover strategies for supporting both Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils.<h3 style="color: rgb(1, 45, 113); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(1, 45, 113);">Objectives for the day</h3>To give you some space and time to think about and identify the needs of your lower attaining and EAL pupils and how you could adapt your teaching of history and your curriculum to suit their needs.To introduce, or revisit the implementation of a range of different strategies to support your lower attaining pupils, focused on general teaching, writing and the use of vocabulary in our history lessons.<h3 style="color: rgb(1, 45, 113); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(1, 45, 113);">Outcomes</h3>You will have a clear understanding of a range of strategies you could use, you will leave feeling more confident about how you can adapt your history teaching to support the engagement and progress of your lower attaining pupils and you will have some identified actions to help you achieve this.<h3 style="color: rgb(1, 45, 113); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(1, 45, 113);">Course leader</h3>Sue Temple was a Primary and Early Years teacher for 17 years, including 10 years as an SEN teacher, before moving into initial Teacher Education as a Senior Lecturer in Primary History where she has led the History specialism at the University of Cumbria since 2004.
