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. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting. The submission deadline is: Monday 19th May 2025

Description Infertility Awareness Diploma  The Infertility Awareness Diploma course is a gem for those who work in private clinics and practices dealing with fertility treatments. It can also act as the first step for people who want to start a career in this industry. Some emotions, thoughts, and behaviours may negatively impact a person conceiving a baby, increasing depression and anxiety. Psychological and emotional factors can block conception. The key lies in the relationship between partners trying to conceive together. Suppose you harbour any feelings of resentment or anger towards your significant other. In that case, if you do not enjoy your sexual relationship and do not feel a real connection to your partner and are simply partaking in the activities without passion, it can become challenging to conceive together. In the United Kingdom, several clinics are licensed and provide services from investigations to treatments for individuals facing fertility problems. Every clinic must employ an independent infertility counsellor who is a part of the staff at the clinic. Some of these counsellors work outside the clinic's premises as well. Some advertise their services online, while others advertise through local media or the National Health Society job website. If becoming an infertility therapist or counsellor interests you, you should consider enrolling in the Infertility Awareness Diploma course. This is one sector where every kind of experience is a valuable addition. Every person is entitled to enjoy the highest level and standard attainable for physical and psychological health. Individual persons and couples have the right to decide their children's number, spacing, and timing. The problem of infertility is detrimental to realising such essential and fundamental human rights. Thus, addressing infertility is critical to reducing gender disparity. Both men and women can face infertility problems; however, women with male partners are more prone to suffering infertility, whether or not there is actual physical truth. Infertility can significantly impact people's social lives negatively- both the social lives of couples and, particularly, the woman's. Women too often experience divorce, violence, emotional stress, social stigma, anxiety, low self-confidence and esteem, and depression. The Infertility Awareness Diploma programme was designed to help students understand this problem. This condition has been plaguing societies down to its roots and causes and learned how to diagnose and treat it. There are some cases where the fear of infertility leads to men and women being sceptical about using contraception. Some often experience social pressure to prove to others at a young age that they are fertile. This is a result of the high value placed by society on childbearing. These cases show the need for awareness-raising and education on the determinants and prevalence of fertility and infertility. Interventions must be accessible, available, and of high quality to address these issues effectively, a challenge in many nations. The diagnosis and treatment of infertility are sometimes not a priority at the national level. It is also rare to find reproductive health and development strategies and policies that cover whole populations sourced financially by public health plans. There is also an inadequate number of trained people, and some lack the supporting infrastructure and equipment. Currently, medicines for treatment cost a fortune and stand as a significant hurdle even in countries actively fighting for the needs of individuals with fertility issues. The Infertility Awareness Diploma course will prepare you for this sector, whether you are new or working in it. The programme suits healthcare professionals looking for additional training regarding infertility and who want to provide better service to their clients. What you will learn  1: A brief introduction to infertility and the human anatomy  2: Pre-conception and adopting positive behaviours  3: Conceiving techniques and diseases that affect fertility  4: Seeing a doctor and taking supplements for infertility  5: Finding the problem  6: Early pregnancy loss  7: Intrauterine insemination and IVF  8: Embryo transfer and the IVF cycle  9: Challenges in using a third-party reproduction  10: New advances in fertility treatment  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.
