LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION Florence has been at A M Heath for five years and represents a range of commercial fiction and non-fiction. For fiction, comforting, funny and warm reads, as well as gripping page-turners, will always be Florence's cup of tea. Her favourite thing is to escape with a story she can’t put down. If you think your book fits that, then do send it to her. Books in this vein that really left her wanting one more chapter include Marian Keyes’s character, Rachel, from Rachel’s Holiday that left Florence with a compassion for addiction that only the most skilled of writers can conjure. Florence finds Catherine Newman to be a genius for making hospice care so funny in We All Want Impossible Things. Smart page turners such as Anatomy of a Scandal, Such a Fun Age, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, wowed her with clever, gripping prose and complicated, flawed characters she hadn't met before. She also loves older classics like the Cazalet Chronicles and Georgette Heyer’s Regency novels. Florence is actively looking for writers who are under-represented in the publishing world, through non-traditional channels, as well as her submissions. She’s keen to find non-fiction and fiction writers who speak to a millennial and younger audience, be that a journalist who is looking to expand an idea, a screenwriter who is looking to try their hand at fiction or perhaps an activist with a social media platform. She is also interested in environmental and social issues. The authors she represents include Jaspreet Kaur, Salma El-Wardany, Rachel Thompson, Annie Lord, Angelica Malin and Phil Ellis. Their books range from the heart-breaking and profound to the inspirational, funny and wise, with almost everything in between. Florence does not wish to receive, YA, Fantasy or Sci-fi. Florence would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. (In addition to the paid sessions, Florence is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

Welcome to Whine with HR! Our bi-monthly meet-up where we think about - and drink about - all things HR! Now, all of you in HR (or quite frankly, if you have ever been an employee anywhere) know that crazy things can happen in the workplace and that sometimes means you need an adult beverage to get you through. Well, we've got you covered! In Whine with HR, we start with the W-I-N-E of the week, where Trish and I test out new wines and share our thoughts. And then we move on to the W-H-I-N-E of the week, where we talk about a pressing HR topic. We change the topic each meet-up, so you never get bored (and Lord knows, there is ALWAYS something new to talk about). We back up our information with stats and research and we always offer best practices for the topic at hand. We also throw in a fun AMA episode here and there. Whine with HR used to be a podcast, but we wanted to make it more interactive and give you a chance to chime in and/or ask questions. So, grab your favorite beverage (loaded or unloaded) and join us!
