Celebrate Chinese New Year and the year of the tiger with this special Amigurumi crochet-along.
Tigers are symbols of strength, courage and perseverance and you certainly need some of that character when it comes to small scale crochet!
Tallulah is crocheted continuously in the round, and almost in 1 piece. You'll only need some basic crochet stitch know-how (US terms) and I'll show you some sew as you go techniques so any dodgy stitching and finishing gets hidden secretly inside. There are a couple of fiddly elements to this make, but nothing a determined tiger can't handle! She can be made into a fridge magnet, a brooch or a key ring if you like too!
This workshop takes place online so you will need to have access to ZOOM and the materials listed below to crochet-along. Some crochet skills are essential but it's also great for adventurous beginners interested in this style of crochet and anyone else who wants to join in.
What you'll need to craft along . . .
<ul>
<li>a 2.0mm crochet hook*</li>
<li>4 ply or fine double-knit yarn**</li>
<li>a stitch marker</li>
<li>3mm black bead</li>
<li>3mm white sequins (optional)</li>
<li>toy filling</li>
<li>a big eye and a fine eye needle</li>
<li>matching threads</li>
<li>scissors</li>
<li>a cuppa tea and a biscuit</li>
</ul>
*Don't worry if a 2.0mm crochet hook fills you with absolute dread - you can make the same tiger with a larger hook and chunkier yarn.
**I used Drops Soft Tweed in 18 Carrot Cake and Sirdar Haworth Tweed in 907 Rydale Russet for my tigers and some odds and ends for features. You won't need too much of anything so ideal for using up yarns you happen to have.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, SCIENCE FICTION / FANTASY

After several years spent within publishing houses Bookouture, Canelo, Avon, One More Chapter and Head of Zeus, Hannah Todd became a Literary Agent at the Madeleine Milburn Literary, TV & Film Agency, before joining Janklow & Nesbit in January 2025. Her clients include Kirsty Greenwood, Charlie Gallagher and Leah Mercer.

Hannah is keen to see commercial fiction across the board, but with a particular focus on romance, Science Fiction/Fantasy & mystery novels. She is drawn to books with exemplary characterisation, voice and strength of feeling. But don't let your characterisation overshadow the need for impeccable plot and if you can make her laugh or cry then you're onto a winner! 

Across the full light-dark spectrum Hannah especially loves SFF that features an unlikely band of heroes, like the Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo, Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard series, Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, T. Kingfisher's Nettle and Bone,and  the cosy themes/settings offered by Heather Fawcett and TJ Klune.

Hannah's advice is make sure you have a clear USP and hook: If you are sending your reader to a magical academy, or if we're riding dragons or waving wands, that's great! But what makes your book feel different and fresh? An excellent voice is key, but what else makes your take on these tropes stand out? An example of a phenomenal book that has turned the magical academy trope on its head, with layers of excellent world building, a unique magic system and plot twists galore is The Will of the Many by James Islington. If you have something crafted this beautifully then Hannah wants to see it!

Romantasy of varying spice levels, accessible to both romance and fantasy readers, is on Hannah's wishlist. And you can whisk her away with contemporary romance novels, romcoms, sweeping love stories that redefine the genre. Romcoms with great disability rep and LGBTQIA+ stories that focus on the joy of falling in love are high on Hannah's agenda. She particularly loves Emily Henry, Laura Wood and Abby Jiminez. Think more Nicholas Sparks than Sally Rooney, and Bonnie Garmus rather than Gabrielle Zevin. In this space, she is a big fan of Emma Donoghue, Bonnie Garmus and Jojo Moyes.

Meet with Hannah to discuss your crime and high-concept thrillers with an unsettling ‘it-could-happen-to-me’ feeling, coupled with a twist that's unseen until its delivery. The book she most wants to find in this space is something like Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton in both its themes (real-world emotional suspense) and its execution. A mystery series that feels like a real 'romp' is something she loves to escape with too. 

With regards to all genres, Hannah is particularly interested in voices from underrepresented backgrounds: such as writers of colour, indigenous communities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those with disabilities.

Hannah does not the right agent to give advice on:
Re-imaginings of the classics
Books that feature characters putting on Shakespeare plays!
Historical fiction
Children's, middle-grade and YA 

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

(In addition to the paid sessions, Hannah 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).

LOOKING FOR: YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Laura Williams is literary agent at the Greene and Heaton Literary Agency. She is seeking literary fiction, commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high concept Young Adult.

Laura is actively building a fiction list and a small non-fiction list. She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy. 

Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through. She also loves stories about female friendships or conversely groups of women who don't get on, such as the hugely fun BAD SUMMER PEOPLE by Emma Rosenblum. She is always on the lookout for a big tragic love story to make her cry happy or sad tears. At the more commercial end of fiction, think funny novels with warmth and romantic comedies with a bit of depth – think Marian Keyes.

Most of all Laura is looking for novels she hasn’t read before – something unusual structurally or thematically, something that shines a light on a subject the author is passionate about, something that’ll break her heart or raise her blood in an entirely new way. Laura is always looking to promote diverse voices from across the globe, and is particularly keen on LGBTQI+ stories.

YouTube For Business (Interactive Workshop)

Following on from last month's activation harnessing fire energy, ignited by the New Moon in Leo, I invite you to join me to welcome in the Virgo New Moon that approaches fast. Ushering in a new cycle and a new influx of energy.

With its timely intercession at the tail end of summer, Virgo always seems to me like a real opportunity to feel into what is next. To access a greater sense of clarity and creativity. And to start to ready ourselves to fully call in the new aspects that are calling each of us.

This is also a great way that we can contribute to the collective. For as we each focus on that which is calling, we open up more of the field for others to connect to their own heart centredness and a more expanded sense of self.

As the sun travels out of Leo into Virgo the energy of creation is heightened with the auspicious presence of the Royal Star Regulus. An ideal time to focus on calling in your highest timeline and attracting what your heart desires. Further anchoring heart energy within and without.

This will be an energy activation and will include a transmission and/or connection to the Dragons. We will come together online and get those energies moving. 

What’s an energy activation? An energy activation is a reawakening of part or parts of your Divine blueprint. It has the capacity to create lasting change, by removing blocks, habits, patterns or stagnancy that are ready to go! 

This particular activation will most likely use a blend of guided meditation, channelling and light language, to bypass the conscious mind, as I am guided during our time together.

If you require any further information or have specific questions not covered in the FAQ, simply reach out to me via email here: melody@thisdivinelife.com 

8PM BST * 9PM CET * 12PM PST * 3PM EST
