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.

LOOKING FOR: MG, YA, ADULT FICTION Originally from the North East of Scotland. Kirsten joined Zeno in the summer 2024 after time working at a previous literary agency and before that working as a bookseller in the Charing Cross branch of Foyles. Kirsten has a BA (Hons) in English from Edinburgh Napier University and a Masters in Children’s Literature from Reading University. Kirsten is currently building her own list alongside handling Zeno’s translation rights. Kirsten is looking for: Scottish voices - especially something from the North East - Kirsten is Aberdonian and would love to help a writer from this space emerge. Water horror - as Kirsten grew up in Aberdeen she is always looking for horror inspired by the sea or the landscape of Scotland - bonus points if it has anything to do with an oil rig! Workplace horror like Camilla Grudova’s Children of Paradise or Calvin Kasulke’s Several People are Typing (this is not a reflection of her agency!) Romance - especially young and contemporary - obviously bonus points if it’s set in Scotland and written by someone who has lived there. Kirsten is a huge fan of all the usual suspects, Ali Hazlewood, Ana Huang, Bolu Babalola to name a few! Romantasy - less elves, more out of the box - Kirsten read Sarah J Maas in 2014/15 and so is looking for something that expands on the genre. A good crime thriller - Kirsten did her dissertation on terrorism so anything that is well written in this space would be a dream for her. Additionally she really enjoys serial killer novels and the recent fake true crime novels, Penance by Eliza Clark especially thrilled her. A Studio Ghibli esque fantasy - luscious landscapes, brilliant characters, a powerfulstory. If any of your comps are a Ghibli film she wants to see it! Fanfiction writers! Kirsten has always been on the sites and would love you to tell her if you’ve written fanfiction in the past / have an ongoing fanbase - maybe she has already read it. Kirsten already has: A nonfiction baking book - Kirsten would not want another at this moment. A middle grade cosy fantasy - Kirsten would love to see more of this! But worries if it’s too close to what she already has, then it would be a reason for her to turn it down. A Horror Vampire novel - again she would love to see more of this! But worries if it’s too close to what she already has, that would be a reason for her to turn it down. Vampires would probably be better for her if they were contemporary or in the romantasy space. A Game of Thrones esque fantasy - a client is already writing this and she wants to give it the space on her list it deserves! Kirsten is NOT looking for: Picture books / 5-8 books Poetry Police procedural Hard science fiction Kirsten would like you to submit a covering letter, one page synopsis and the first three chapters (Max 5000 words) of your completed manuscript in a single word document. (In addition to the paid sessions, Kirsten 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.

The Emergency Lighting BS 5266 one day course is based upon BS5266:1 (including latest amendments), BS5266:7 and BS5266:8. Emergency lighting is essential for the safety of building occupants. It is vital that the emergency lighting automatically operates in the event of normal lighting failure. The illumination levels and period of time the illumination can be sustained should be sufficient to allow the building occupants to evacuate safely and locate both fire alarm, fire fighting and first aid equipment. The Emergency Lighting BS 5266 course provides the necessary information to designate emergency escape routes and design and commission an emergency lighting scheme to BS 5266. The morning of the Emergency Lighting BS 5266 course is spent reading through and interpreting the relevant parts of BS 5266. The afternoon takes the form of a practical workshop where a system is designed and the participant is then introduced to the practical issues of commissioning, inspection and testing, certification and reporting.

This free interactive workshop illuminates the five top skills you gain from reading and gives some information on how to develop them further.

PSR stands for Presentation, Skills, and reading. PSR method is one of the most innovative strategies for verbal communication that will help you to become a successful creator of voiceovers. The PSR METHOD COURSE (Presentation Skills and Reading) is devoted to PSR methods and guides you to create your excellent voiceovers that will appeal to other. Do you want to create voiceovers? Or want to engage your listeners? Then the course is designed for you. The course will teach you how to make a compelling voiceover that can help you to grab the attention of the listeners and also helps you to earn more. Throughout the course, you will learn what to do before a recording, how to prepare yourself for recording, find out the metal commas, how to control your pace, Red Flag Words, finally, what to do after the recording the voiceover. We communicate to share information. But the problem is most of the people will not listen to the lengthy discussion. The purpose of the course is to guide you to apply the effective delivery of words. After completing the course, you will be able to control your voice as a musician controls his musical instruments. In a matter of hours, you will see a radical change in the way you deliver words. People study for years to qualify for their chosen profession and then gain experience in the work place. They can now be considered experts. However, there is something missing - none of us were taught a communication technique (set of rules) at school, we were simply taught to string words together. The PSR Method changes your speech pattern from instinct to technique, enabling people to become more aware of the way they speak, learn how to control their voice and the way words are delivered. Without a technique, we are left to use our instinct. Dictionary definition: instinct /in'stingkt'/ n. The innate aspect of behaviour that is unlearned. In other words you are making up your own rules; you're 'guessing'. On the other hand, it describes technique /tek-neek/ as follows: A set of specific rules which determine the degree of excellence. The degree of skill or command of fundamentals exhibited in any performance. Instead of us telling you how effective this course is, let's leave it to those who have already done the course...... 'The Hudson Voice Technique is powerful structured technique that teaches to use your voice like a precision tool to convey emotion and conviction, draw your listener in, and enhance memory retention. This is an essential part of your influencing toolkit.' Mike Clayton, Business Speaker and Author 'This course is hands on, You start improving how you read and apply your voice in the first 20 min. You are given the tools and all you need to do is apply, compare and practice.' Tania Ras-Devereux 'I will be forever more mindful of the way I speak when doing presentations and my podcast. In a little over 2 hours I have learned enough to change the way I speak forever. Thank you for a great course.' Nolan Collins 'This course delivers exactly what it says it will. At the beginning of the course you are asked to record a number of lines to the best of your ability so you can compare it with what you sound like at the end. I was skeptical about how much I was improving during the course... I mean, sure, I learned some good advice but I didn't feel any huge improvement. Then I recorded the final readings and compared them to my firsts and wow... mind blown! This course gives basic advice and intriguing explanations for how to improve your voice while reading a script that has monumental results. ...All in all this is a course where the results speak for themselves and I highly suggest it.' Malcolm Tolman 'I really enjoyed this course. I found that his method makes it very easy to analyze the most complex blocks of reading and devise how to get through it - all on the fly! Great job. Totally worth my time and money!' Kenneth Gonzales What you will learn: How to control your pace - most of us talk too fast - especially when nervous or under pressure Use the three vital rules at the end of a sentence - Sound more confident and decisive How to pitch a script - add immense power to presentations Control the tone of you voice - become a more dynamic public speaker Recognise 'Red Flag Words' - boost the impact on the audience How to read a script - 95% perfect, first take, without rehearsal. How it works: Before you start the lessons, we ask you to record some scripts to establish your stating point. Keep these scripts in a folder. Go through the lessons. Although the video will be a certain amount of time, you will be asked to read and record during the lessons. Keep these recordings for yourself so you can listen back to them to criticise your work. Once you've gone through all the lessons, we ask you to practise for about a week, combining the lessons. When you are happy with your progress, we ask you to record the same scripts you read before you started the course. Place these in the folder you created and where you placed your 'Before Recordings'. Send the Before and After recordings to us and Steve will assess your progress. If he is satisfied you have mastered what you've been taught, he will send you your Voicemaster Diploma. You will be provided with a work booklet which we ask you to print before you start. There is also the option of reading certain scripts on-screen, just like an autocue/teleprompter.
