Introduction to ECG Course (GPT009)

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.

John also leads the film &amp; TV desk for the wider agency and is on the Association of Author&rsquo;s Agent&rsquo;s Bridge Committee.John is building a small but unique list of authors, who all share a passion for subverting expectations and creating rich new worlds of adventure.John is looking for anything under the broad church of SFF, from literary to pulpy, high fantasy to gritty urban, but he would especially love to hear from anyone under-represented in the genre, particularly neurodiverse writers. John is also keen to grow his horror list, but definitely in the vein of psychological terror more than straight gore-fest.In particular, John is looking for lush and inventive YA/NA fantasy, science fiction and horror, especially stories that challenge the tropes and expectations of the genre.He would love some near-future sci-fi or speculative, in the vein of Black Mirror&lsquo;s more uplifting episodes, (e.g. San Junipero), or a high-concept rom-com like Palm Springs. He&rsquo;s also on the hunt for some grounded speculative takes on modern-day professions, such as medicine, law, policing, politics, espionage, and international relations.After falling head over heels for his first romantasy, John is keen to see more cosy low-stakes, high-charm stories, or sweeping fantastical love stories (not adverse to a bit of spice), especially from under-represented backgrounds.John is still searching for his beefy epic fantasy, but it needs to be breaking the mould in some way, Sanderson will always be the best at being Sanderson. Anything building from a Non-Anglo-Christian cultural background would be a great start.Horror-wise, gothic will always be a favourite and he loves a mythologically inspired scarefest. He&rsquo;s keen to read an intelligent creature feature from the POV of the monster, or even something with a strong romantic element amongst all the gore.He&rsquo;s open to projects at the more literary end of the spectrum, a rich magical realism, or something character-led yet supernatural and would love a high-concept mystery, in the vein of Stuart Turton.He&rsquo;s not the best agent for military sci-fi or hard-SF and the right comedic fantasy has yet to hit his inbox, (please don&rsquo;t comp Douglas Adams or Sir Terry).John would like you to submit a covering letter, 1-2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 10,000 words whichever is longest) of your manuscript in a single word document.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, John is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: YA/NA FANTASY, SFF, HORROR, ADULT FICTION

John Baker (he/him) joined the Bell Lomax Moreton agency in 2019, cultivating a list shaped around his passion for science fiction, fantasy, and horror, though has lately also branched out into action/adventure fiction. John focuses on authors writing in the Adult, New Adult, and YA spaces. 

John leads the wider agency's film & TV desk, is the Secretary of the Association of Author’s Agents, and the co-chair of the AAA’s Bridge Committee. He also serves on the Kingston University MA Publishing Advisory Board.

Under the umbrella of speculative fiction, John is looking for fantasy, science fiction, horror, romantasy, or literary speculative fiction. He has built a reputation as a champion of underrepresented voices and stories, be it from creators hailing from the global majority and their diasporas or neurodiverse authors, and naturally gravitates towards this kind of storytelling. In short, if he’s never read a story like yours before, he wants to see it. 

Adult fantasy: John loves beefy epic fantasy, especially non-Anglo Christian-inspired. Give him an immersive world, a fresh magical or mythic system, and an exciting cast of characters and he’ll be happy. He is a broad church in the genre so loves a political fantasy, swords and sorcery, courtly intrigue, monster hunting and dastardly villains. John is keen to find an urban fantasy that feels fresh and fun and he’s a sucker for a heroic quest narrative. He’s also very open to fantasy that isn’t easily categorised, but it is playing in that world. John is keenly hunting for more historical fantasy, especially inspired by modern history. He’s had fun with mythological retellings in the past, but as ever, let’s make sure it’s shining the spotlight on new stories. He would also love fantasy that centres on types of relationships less celebrated in fantasy, such as established and secure married couples, or siblings. 

NA/YA fantasy: In this genre, most importantly, John wants to have a good time, whether it’s swoon-worthy kisses in lush ball gowns, or gruesome gore and monsters, so send him pacy, plot-filled adventures. He’d love more books that teenage boys would love: Skullduggery Pleasant forever! 

Romantasy: The thriving new romantasy genre comes with its own set of challenges, so John wants to know what makes your romantasy different; what will set it out from the (very crowded!) market. Give it completely barmy stakes, cool and unique new settings, or a love story that will make your jaw drop. To be clear, he’s happily sorted for a human person meets a fae creature in the spooky woods. Also, cosmic romance is the genre of the future. Give him romantasy in space. Easy. 

Horror: John and horror are old friends. He loves horror inspired by myth and folklore, subversive weird horror that leaves your eyebrows in your hairline, historical horror that pulls from ghastly true stories, and anything that you’ll be reading with the light on. He also loves a gothic element and is particularly looking for horror with a strong romantic throughline, fun YA horror, and female & NB horror authors. 

Science fiction: SF is coming back! And John has been shouting about that. He loves to see an adventurous found-family romp through space or an epic, crunchy space opera. Speculative near-future is fun too, in the vein of Black Mirror’s more uplifting episodes, (e.g. San Junipero). He loves YA science fiction as well; the more creative the better. 

Literary: John is open to finding more rich magical realism or something character-led yet supernatural and would love a high-concept mystery, in the vein of Stuart Turton. He also loves spec fic that uses the speculative lightly as a way of confronting a deeper truth in society today. 

Weird stuff: John wants books that will blow people’s minds and defy categorisation. This is hard to describe, but think Gideon The Ninth, The Library At Mount Char, This Is How You Lose The Time War. John loves a pitch that leaves the editors baffled but intrigued. 

Action/Adventure, Historical Adventure, Espionage: John is branching out into non-speculative adventures, such as John Le Carré, Lee Child, Ian Flemming, and Mick Herron. More as his taste develops, but the hunt is on!

Not looking for: military sci-fi or hard SF, or anything with biblical “character wakes up in purgatory/heaven/hell” narratives. The right comedic fantasy has yet to hit his inbox, but please don’t comp Douglas Adams or Sir Terry.

John would like you to submit a covering letter, 1-2 page synopsis and the first two chapters of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, John 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).
