This isn’t a course. It’s a consecration. A sacred spiral for women in midlife who feel the shift — and are ready to rise. There comes a moment when the roles you've played no longer fit. When the masks feel heavy. When the rhythm you’ve lived by begins to falter. Not because you’ve failed. But because you’re becoming, something powerful, sovereign, and beautifully indefinable. You’re not losing yourself. You’re rediscovering the fire that never truly went out. 🔮 What is Hearth of Hera? Hearth of Hera is a 7-week live, online spiral for women in midlife who know they’re no longer who they were — but aren’t yet sure who they’re becoming. It’s not about self-improvement. It’s not a coaching programme or a checklist. It’s a return — to voice, sovereignty, magic, and self-remembrance. If you’ve felt the call, your place is already waiting. 🌿 This journey is for you if: * You’re in midlife or standing at a powerful threshold moment * You’ve outgrown old identities, rules, or rhythms that no longer serve * You want sacred space that honours your depth, sensitivity, and magic * You’re ready to reclaim your voice — spiritually, creatively, unapologetically * You crave gentle ritual, beautiful structure, and a pace that honours your energy * You long for sisterhood without pressure or performance * You’re tired of trying to be “enough” and just want to be true No application. No performance. Just resonance — and your readiness to return to yourself. 🔥 What You Receive * 🕯 7 live weekly Zoom circles (Mondays at 6pm BST – replays available) * 🌀 A growing 7-card tarot spread — one new card drawn and explored each week * 📝 Creative prompts and voicework exercises * 🔥 Weekly rituals to support your unfolding (simple and flexible — no pressure) * 🌙 Optional journal and embodiment practices you can explore at your own pace * 📱 A private Telegram group for connection, sharing, and gentle sisterhood Whether you attend live or follow the replays, you’ll be fully held. ✨ The Spiral Path: Your 7-Week Journey Each week brings a new threshold — a deepening into voice, truth, and sovereignty: 1. Root the Flame — anchor into belonging and inner ground 2. Ignite the Flow — awaken creative, emotional, and energetic movement 3. Sing the Soul — speak your truth and reclaim the myth you live 4. Name the Boundaries — honour your yes, your no, your sacred edge 5. Clarify the Vision — attune to desire, direction, and knowing 6. Burn the Falsehoods — release what no longer fits or serves 7. Rise to Be Seen — stand whole, witnessed, and unshaken This is not a linear curriculum. It is a spiral of becoming — rooted in rhythm, ritual, and resonance. We begin 7/7. Come. Sit by the hearth. Your fire is waiting.

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. Marilia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single Word document.  (In addition to the paid sessions, Marilia is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented 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).  By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION Diana joined the prestigious DHH Literary Agency in June 2024. She started agenting with Rupert Heath Literary Agency in 2011 before moving to UTA and Marjacq in 2017. Before that she was senior commissioning editor at Transworld. Diana was chosen as one of The Bookseller’s Rising Stars of 2012, was a nominee for RNA Agent of the Year 2019, and was shortlisted for Literary Agent of the Year 2022 at the British Book Awards. Her list includes a wide range of bestselling and prize-winning authors in the UK and internationally. Diana represents adult fiction and non-fiction. For fiction, she is looking for upmarket women's commercial, with depth and heart, including reading group, historical, saga, uplit and contemporary stories that are irreverent and make her laugh; accessible literary fiction, high-concept crime fiction and thrillers. She has a thing for spy novels and would love to find a great vampire story.  On the non-fiction side: memoir, smart, funny feminists, lifestyle, cookery and social justice, and open to anything with a strong, original voice. She also encourages submissions from writers who have been traditionally under-represented. Diana would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (a maximum of 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.  (In addition to the paid sessions, Diana is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers.
