LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION Amanda Preston has been a literary agent for over 20 years and co-founded LBA in 2005. She won the RNA Literary Agent of the Year award in 2018. She represents commercial and reading group fiction, as well as a range of narrative non-fiction and memoir. She loves working with authors, championing them every step of the way, and works with them and their publishing teams to build them into brand names and award winning and bestselling authors in the UK and internationally. Whether commercial or reading-group, she loves innovative and well-written stories that hook her in from the start and whose voice stays with her. She is looking for novels that demand to be talked about and shared, whatever their genre, and that she is still thinking about days after finishing. She is on the hunt for a high-concept thriller which is character and plot driven, but also has a discussable issue at its heart i.e Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey and Girl A by Abigail Dean. She loves thrillers where the location is as integral to the plot as the crime i.e The Dry by Jane Harper and The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse, and would love a good locked-room thriller but is only looking for fresh and unique ideas in this area. She is also on the hunt for a glorious book club love story that is doing something a bit different and special i.e Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid or Liane Moriarty! Or smart, contemporary, observant romcoms with a very strong emphasis on diverse / own voices. Finally, she would love a historical that vividly brings that period to life as well as having a stunning plot i.e, The Familiars by Stacey Halls and The Doll Factory by Elizabeth MacNeal. Amanda would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the opening three chapters (max 5,000 words). (In addition to the paid sessions, Amanda 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). 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.

Helpful Ideas for Your Journey to True Diversity & Inclusion Globally, organizations are committing to Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) at higher rates than ever, with 87% of respondents indicating that D&I is a stated value or priority for their organization. However, for many organisations, the commitment does not extend past a statement in their annual report and allowing diversity groups the time and space to meet. Many business leaders surveyed still acknowledge that being a member of a Minority group is a barrier to employee progression. While there is solid research year on year to show that greater diversity and inclusion leads to improved business performance, many companies are still catching up. In this session, we will acknowledge the difference between Diversity and Inclusion at work and explore what leading companies are doing to enhance both. We will also acknowledge the continuing role of unconscious bias and explore strategies for minimising its impact. What good D&I looks like What one thing makes the most difference in getting a D&I strategy embedded in the culture 5 additional examples of the most successful D&I strategies What you can do to improve your organisation's D&I environment no matter your role

LEARN ABOUT BEHAVIORAL VS. TRADITIONAL INTERVIEWING, AND HOW TO INCORPORATE AND DEVELOP INTERVIEWING SKILLS TO ENSURE THAT YOU FIND THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB. Behavioral Interviewing means asking candidates questions that will help you to discover how the interviewee acted in specific employment-related situations.

OBJECTIVES Participants will be able to: Build a consistent framework and process to ensure an unbiased candidate experience; Choose job specifications and determine how success will be measured (skills); Identify characteristics and qualities that will support the required skills; Prepare questions to elicit descriptions of behaviors, attitudes, and skills necessary for the job; Review legal and appropriate interviewing etiquette/guidelines, including social media research; Screen candidates, using resumes and phone interviews; and Conduct successful role-play Behavioral Interviews in class.

Time for individual questions and concerns to aid in personalizing tactics. Online Format—Behavioral Interviewing is a 4-hour interactive online class for up to six people.
