WHAT IS THE SIX STAGES FRAMEWORK?
“The Six Stages Framework is an action-based positive tool that will speak to many people and provide the language many people feel that they don't have to speak about their own biases and racism. “What is special about the Six Stages Framework, is that it is a positive, action-based, non-judgemental tool that is essential to addressing sensitive topics.“ Aishling Dempsey, MSc Clinical Health Psychology student/ Honorary Psychology Assistant, Inclusion Psychologists Ltd.
In supporting individuals and organisations to understand and challenge racism it is important to explore and to be able to identify some of the beliefs, values and behaviours individuals and organisations engage in as they struggle to reformulate their views and challenge their own prejudices.
The stages are designed to support individuals and organisations to identify where they are in terms of their awareness of understanding and responding to racism. It is important that as a society we appreciate that we all at different stages in our journey towards understanding and dealing with racism and promoting a more equitable society which does not discriminate according to one’s race, colour and/or appearance.

WHAT ARE THE SIX STAGES?
Description of the Six Stages of Understanding and Dealing with Racism (+ axis)
The Six Stages Framework is a psychological tool that is designed to assess where individual people or organisations are in their journey towards understanding and dealing with the complexities of individual and systemic racism, whether that is conscious or unconscious, overt or covert: direct or indirect
Stage +1: Unaware, silence and denial
This stage is characterised by having a lack of awareness of racial equity and diversity issues, often presenting as ignorance or being oblivious or ethnocentric. It is characterised by silence or denial of such issues, perhaps by keeping one’s head down, hoping a whole conversation will end, or finding ways to divert from a particular topic to other subjects that seem safer.
Stage +2: Dismissive and avoidant
People at this stage are aware of issues of race, however they are often dismissive of these issues and often believe that racial inequity and social injustice is not such a big issue. There is denial (and avoidance) that racial and social injustice is an issue, and an opinion that there are far more important inequalities and injustices in the world. This is what they tell themselves and others. The denial and discomfort that arises results in avoidance/resistance/anger and shifting attention to other issues that feel more manageable and tolerable.
They are more comfortable talking about gender issues and disability and will always point to other inequalities rather than racism.
At stage +2 people are avoidant of facing race issues; this distinguishes them from the person at stage +1 who is oblivious and ignorant.
Stage +3: Becoming aware of issues of race
At this stage, people are becoming aware of differences and of racism. They begin to question their original stance at Stages +1 and +2. They recognise that there is inequity and racism, but do not understand why, or what they can do about it. They express discomfort about talking about racial differences and racism and feel overwhelmed by the issues. They often express a sense of helplessness, guilt and even shame, and they just want to make everything be okay for everyone.
Stage +4: Open to learning
People at this stage are open to learning and having meaningful conversations about race, including challenging perceptions and biases. They are genuinely willing to listen, learn and re-educate themselves, and may seek out literature on the experiences and testimonials of black people and other ethnic minority groups. They reflect and readily engage in conversations about social, racial injustice and racism and will explore (and own) any unconscious bias they have,
Stage +5: Ability to see the bigger picture
This stage features an ability to reflect and genuinely engage in conversations and with the issues of social/racial injustice and racism, whereby people start to see the bigger picture around race. They are able to explore and own their unconscious bias, white privilege or other positions of power informed by the reading and education gained in Stage +4. They are keen to explore their role as an ally and how they can make a difference.
Stage +6: Leadership qualities
People at this stage are able to take on leadership roles in promoting racial equity, inclusion and social justice. They may join together with others to challenge social injustice and racism, possibly through community engagement, or through a desire to work with others towards a greater cause with the understanding that there is more that unites us than separates us. They understand that racism is about power and systems and focus their energies on supporting change in this area. They will speak up when necessary and challenge racism or perceptions of racism when others are afraid to. They are clear about allyship and their role.
What are your first thoughts about these stages? (e.g. have you seen these stages occurring in others? Are they accurate?) The model is not linear but fluid and dynamic.
Where do you think you are on this stages/ journey?
SUMMARY OF THE SIX STAGES of Understanding and Dealing with Racism (+ve and -ve axis) are as follows:
 Stage – 6: Extremists/leadership
Strong racist views and work to champion them to others and recruit others to join them.
Stage – 5: Entrenched views and behaviours
Exhibit strong racist views and enjoy sharing them with others.
Stage – 4: Anger and blaming of ethnic minorities
Likely to attack and reject the views of those who are different. Extreme ways of thinking and behaving.
Stage – 3: Attacking and rejecting
Resenting time spent on race, display of outrage whilst projecting one’s own racism onto others
Stage – 2: Dismissive and avoidant
Dismissive of issues of race, pretending that racial and social injustice do not exist
Stage – 1: Unaware, silence and denial
Lack of awareness, Ignorance, oblivious, silence and denial
Stage + 1: Unaware, silence and denial
Lack of awareness, Ignorance, oblivious, silence and denial
Stage + 2: Dismissive and avoidant
Dismissive of issues of race, pretending that racial and social injustice do not exist
Stage + 3: Becoming aware of issues of race
Becoming more aware of differences and racism, and questioning. Recognise inequity and racism but do not understand why or what they can do about it.
Stage + 4: Open to learning
Open to learning and having meaningful conversations- challenging one’s perceptions
Stage + 5: Ability to see the bigger picture
Ability to reflect and genuinely engage. Starting to see the bigger picture around race- paradigm shift
Stage + 6: Leadership qualities

She has varied taste with a particular interest in children&rsquo;s and YA fiction and non-fiction, as well as adult non-fiction. In MG, she would love to see stories with heart and with a classic, lyrical tone, in the vein of Katya Balen, or with the inventiveness of Frances Hardinge or the action-packed sequences and acerbic wit of Jonathan Stroud. In YA she is looking for all genres whether they be on the more literary or commercial sides, but with an emphasis on romance. She would also be interested in seeing crossover romance, be that contemporary or fantasy, and stories featuring characters in their very early twenties.Camille would love to see proposals for smart and accessible non-fiction (children&rsquo;s or adult) which teach us about the world we live in, which shine a light on a culture (encompassing everything including workplace culture), which are empowering or which encourage deep thinking and fundamental shifts in perspective. She is not currently looking for memoir unless it is also doing one of these things. Some favourite non-fiction books are:&nbsp;Entangled Life,&nbsp;Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can&rsquo;t Stop Talking,&nbsp;Braiding Sweetgrass,&nbsp;The Gendered Brain, Why We Sleep, Invisible Women&nbsp;and&nbsp;A World Without Email.Camille would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Camille is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

In the crossover/adult space, Camille's taste is broad but with an emphasis on romance. Recent favourites include: Fourth Wing, The Crimson Moth and One Golden Summer.

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.

Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, a 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, Laura 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).
