From rapid tech innovation to shifting policy landscapes, the future of mobility is being reshaped at pace, and those who understand the changes are best placed to lead.

Join us for a hands-on, in-person workshop designed to unpack what’s new and what’s next in the world of transport technology and policy. We’ll cover everything from the latest EV infrastructure trends and smart mobility solutions to recent legislation and what it means for your work - whether you're in engineering, operations, local government, or strategy.

This isn’t a dry policy briefing or a tech spec lecture. It's interactive, practical, and tailored for real-world application.

Why attend?
Cut through the noise – Get clarity on the key developments without trawling through white papers. 
Stay ahead – Understand what recent tech and policy changes really mean for your role or organisation. 
Connect across sectors – Learn alongside others working in fleet, energy, planning, and transport. 
Walk away with tools – Take home actionable insights you can apply immediately.
Ask the experts - Sometimes you have a great question, but no-one to ask it to. This workshop gives an opportunity to ask a panel of experts, including Cenex staff and experts from within your own business.

So, whether you’re shaping strategy or delivering on the ground, this session will help you future-proof your work in a rapidly changing landscape.

Practicalities
Location: This workshop can be conducted either at your premises or at an off-site location. It is expected that the client will arrange the venue, along with food and refreshments for learners though out the day. However, this can be arranged on your behalf on request.

Attendees: These workshops are designed to run best with between 15 - 30 learners at a time.

Cost: We typically run 2-3 workshops in a day, either covering a range of topics or to enable larger cohorts to spilt across the day. We charge £9,000 (ex. VAT) per day, plus travel costs, which will be agreed in advance. Where materials require adapting or changing for the audience, additional costs may be incurred.

What's New, What's Next: Navigating Tech & Policy Shifts in Future Transport

Planning EV infrastructure is about more than picking a site and installing chargers.

Grid connection, site feasibility, local energy capacity, future-proofing - it all matters, and it all needs to be planned early. This workshop walks you through the end-to-end EVI planning and connection process so you can avoid delays, extra costs, and costly rework.

It’s designed for anyone involved in developing, approving, or supporting EVI - from fleet managers to planners to consultants.

Why attend?
Understand the full process – From site selection to putting the first spade in the ground
Avoid common mistakes – Learn from real-world examples and challenges 
Work better with partners – Know what DNOs, installers and others need from you 
Plan for the future – Build scalable, future-ready infrastructure

So, regardless of whether you are in sales or engineering, if you or your organisation is involved in planning for and installing EV infrastructure, this session will help you understand the end-to-end process.

Plugged in: Practical planning for EVI Installation

EV infrastructure doesn’t build itself, and no single organisation can do it alone. 

From DNOs and charge point operators to planners, funders and fleet owners, the ecosystem is broad and complex. Understanding who does what (and when) is key to delivering successful projects.

This interactive, in-person workshop maps out the stakeholder landscape, explains roles and responsibilities, and shows you how and when to engage for maximum impact. 

Whether you're planning infrastructure or influencing it, this session will help you work smarter, not harder.

Why attend?
Decode the ecosystem – Understand the key players and how they fit together 
Learn where you fit in – Understand the role your organisation plays within the ecosystem
Know when to act – Learn the best methods and moments for engaging each stakeholder group
Reduce friction – Anticipate common bottlenecks and avoid missteps

So, whether you are shaping policy, evaluating possible locations or installing chargepoints, this session will help you prepare and engage as effectively as possible.

Practicalities
Location: This workshop can be conducted either at your premises or at an off-site location. It is expected that the client will arrange the venue, along with food and refreshments for learners though out the day. However, this can be arranged on your behalf on request.

Get clear on who does what in EV infrastructure. Join this hands-on workshop to map key roles, when to engage, and how to make your project work.

Roles, Stakeholders & Smart Engagement in the EV Infrastructure Industry

If you want buy-in, you need a business case that holds up under scrutiny.

EV infrastructure investments need to be justified to stakeholders, funders, boards and partners. That means showing value - not just in carbon terms, but operationally and financially.

This workshop helps you build a compelling, evidence-based business case for EVI deployment. We’ll cover structure, key metrics, risk and uncertainty, and how to make your case resonate with decision-makers.

Why attend?
Build confidence – Structure a business case that’s clear, robust and persuasive 
Speak the right language – Tailor your case for different audiences 
Use the right evidence – Identify useful data sources and metrics 
Win support – Improve your chances of securing funding or approvals

Whether you are selling or buying EVI, building a strong business case can be what makes the difference to your project. This session will walk you through the process and provide you with the key tools you need along the way.

Making the Case: Building a Strong Business Case for EV Infrastructure

Ever wondered how your product decisions impact the planet or if there is a better way to do things?

This Engaged session takes teams through the full life cycle of EVs and their infrastructure - from raw materials to end-of-life - and asks tough but necessary questions about carbon, cost and trade-offs.

Cyclum Vitae (Latin for ‘Life Cycle’) is a hands-on, team-based board game that turns the complex Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) process into a fun, interactive challenge. Designed by sustainability experts at Cenex Nederland, the game helps players balance environmental impact, time, and cost, while navigating the journey of a product from raw materials to end-of-life. You will have to adapt your strategy, trade with others and make tough compromises to stay in the game. Every decision counts.

But…What actually is a Life Cycle Assessment? LCA is like a sustainability detective story. It traces a product’s environmental impact from the cradle (raw materials needed for the product) to the use phase (life of the product) and finally to the grave (end-of-life of the product).

At it's heart, an LCA finds answers to the questions:
What resources did we use?
What emissions did we release?
Can we do it better next time?

By answering these questions, LCAs turn all those invisible footprints into real, measurable insights so that you can make smarter, greener choices in the way you design and procure products.

“Every product has a story. The choices you make shape that story.”

Through collaborative gameplay and real-world data, participants explore the hidden impacts of design, sourcing, manufacturing, operation and disposal. 

It’s hands-on, thought-provoking, and designed to challenge assumptions in a safe and engaging space.

Why take part?
See the whole picture – Understand where impacts arise across the life cycle of a product
Make better decisions – Identify the levers that influence real sustainability 
Think beyond silos – Explore trade-offs across design, procurement, energy and operations 
Build shared insight – Align teams around common understanding and smarter choices

Perfect for teams involved in transport planning, procurement, policy, and sustainability.
Practicalities
Location: This workshop can be conducted either at your premises or at an off-site location. It is expected that the client will arrange the venue, along with food and refreshments for learners though out the day. However, this can be arranged on your behalf on request.

Attendees: These “Serious Games” are designed to run best with between 2-12 learners at a time. It is perfect for manufacturing organisation, sustainability/CSR teams, product developers and procurement teams.

Cost: We typically run 1-2 ENGAGED sessions in a day, or they can be combined with ADVANCED workshops. We charge £9,000 (ex. VAT) per day, plus travel costs, which will be agreed in advance. Where materials require adapting or changing for the audience, additional costs may be incurred.

On this one-day Introduction to silver clay jewellery making workshop - suitable for beginners or those that have attended our silver jewellery taster workshop and wish to develop their skills - you will create three different pieces of jewellery. &nbsp; Using silver clay, a material made up of recycled silver particles, an organic binder and water that can easily be used at home with little need for equipment, your expert tutor, Edinburgh-based jeweller Anna Campbell, will take you through all the steps needed to create your own pieces ready for firing. The dried clay is fired with a butane torch to form it into silver (at home a cr&egrave;me brul&eacute; torch will also do the job). The resulting pieces are silver of hallmark quality - modern-day alchemy! The projects you will make during this one-day workshop include a pair of earrings, a stone-set pendant and a moulded charm. You will learn how to make your own silicone mould to use with silver clay so if you have any small charms, shells, buttons and so on you would like to bring along to mould please do! If not, a selection will be provided for you to choose from.&nbsp; You will learn how to design, make and fire your own pieces and will go home with your lovely, truly hand made and unique creations to give as gifts or to keep for yourself!

Discover the art of silver clay: a one day beginner’s workshop with 3 creative projects.
Step into the world of jewellery making with this hands-on beginner-friendly workshop, where you’ll create three unique pieces of silver jewellery from scratch!
Over the course of this workshop day, you’ll explore the versatility of silver clay and handmake three stunning projects, each designed to teach you essential skills while sparking your creativity.
What is silver metal clay?
Silver clay is a material manufactured from 100% recycled silver, a plant-based organic binder and water. The silver is recycled from X-rays, the photographic industry, electronics, and the like. You don’t need a lot of tools and equipment to get started and all pieces made on this workshop can be fired with a creme brule torch.
Here’s what you’ll learn and create on this workshop:
Design and craft a pair of earrings (or pendant/charm). Start your journey by designing and crafting a personalized pair of earrings. Don’t have pierced ears? No problem! You can choose to make a beautiful pendant or a bracelet charm instead. Learn how to work with silver clay, texture and shape your pieces and what is possible with this material. 
Make your own custom silicone mould and silver clay charm. Discover the magic of mould-making as you create your very own silicone mould from any object of your choice. You can bring small items of your own e.g. buttons, charms, shells etc or choose from the large selection we have for you! You’ll then use this mould to create a unique silver clay charm, adding a truly personal touch to your jewellery. This technique opens up endless possibilities for future designs.
Craft a gorgeous stone-set pendant. Add a touch of elegance to your jewellery with a stone setting. In this project, you’ll design a stunning pendant and learn how to set a fireable gemstone into silver clay, adding a touch of colour to your design. You will also learn more about which gemstones can be set in silver clay. 
Throughout the workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step by Anna Campbell, one of the leading metal clay teachers in the UK, making this a fun and accessible class for complete beginners. You’ll leave with three pieces of handmade jewellery, new skills, and a strong foundation in working with silver clay.
Whether you’re looking to try a new hobby, make gifts or you have an eye on starting a jewellery business, this class is the perfect introduction to the exciting world of silver clay jewellery.
Earth conscious credentials
We are mindful of the effect we have on the environment, and do our best to minimise our impact.

The silver is recycled from X rays, the photographic industry, electronics etc. You don’t need a lot of tools and equipment to get started and all pieces made on this workshop can be fired with a crème brûlée torch.
You also take all the lovely products you have created home with you on the day, and workshop correspondence and notes are sent to you electronically.
Favourite feedback
We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite review for our Beginners Silver Clay Jewellery Class.
“I highly recommend this course, a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Lynn warmly welcomed everyone into her beautiful home, the venue for the course and provided refreshments for everyone as they arrived.

The course was very relaxed, well-presented and well-organised. Anna demonstrated how to make a variety of pieces and her instructions were clear and explicit. Questions were welcomed and answered clearly and succinctly.

I learned a great deal about Silver and Silver Clay and I am delighted with the jewellery I made.

I have already recommended and given details of the course to a friend.

I look forward to another course.” [Dorothy]

Vaccination / Injection Course (GPT601)

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly. You may want to start with a 5 drops a day working up depending on your sensitivity (up to a maximum of 20 drops per day) 
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

1. Aya Vine – Banisteriopsis caapi 
Aya Vine, also known as Banisteriopsis caapi, is the revered master vine of the Amazon, the foundational spirit of the Aya brew. 

Known as the vine of the soul, she is considered a grandmother teacher - wise, ancient, and deeply transformative.

Working with Aya Vine invites you into a space of inner reflection, emotional release, and spiritual connection. 

Her medicine can illuminate hidden patterns, support energetic cleansing, and guide you into deeper self-awareness and alignment with your path.

Often associated with visions, dreams, and soul retrieval, Aya Vine opens the doorway between the conscious and subconscious realms. 

Even in tincture form, her presence is subtle yet profound, gently bringing unresolved emotions to the surface and guiding them into release.

2. Chiric Sanango Flower - Brunfelsia grandiflora 
Chiric Sanango is one of the most respected master plants of the Amazon, a powerful teacher spirit traditionally used for cleansing, realignment, and the restoration of vital energy. Its name Chiric means “cold,” referencing its ability to draw out coldness from the body and spirit, dispelling heaviness, fear, and rigidity, and replacing them with warmth, vitality, and flow.

On a physical level, Chiric Sanango is known for improving circulation, soothing joint and bone discomfort, and relieving deep muscular tension. It has long been used to ease arthritis, rheumatism, and chronic stiffness, while also igniting vitality and enhancing libido by reawakening the life force within the body.

On an energetic and emotional level, this plant resets the nervous system, aligning the body’s structure and removing stored trauma. Chiric helps dissolve the armour we unconsciously build so that warmth and openness can return to the heart and spirit.

Many turn to Chiric Sanango to release emotional blockages, heal trauma imprints, and restore clarity and strength after periods of stagnation. It is a plant of courage and renewal, reconnecting us with the fire of life when we feel frozen, depleted, or disconnected from our own power.

3. Chuchuwasi – Maytenus krukovii
Chuchuwasi is a revered Amazonian master plant known for its powerful grounding and strengthening properties. Traditionally regarded as a warrior’s ally, it brings fortitude to both body and spirit, enhancing resilience, courage, and stamina. Chuchuwasi is often called upon to restore vitality, especially when one is feeling weakened, depleted, or energetically fragmented.

On an energetic level, Chuchuwasi reinforces personal power and boundary-setting. It teaches us to stand tall in the face of adversity, to access our inner strength, and to move through life with integrity and rooted presence. Often used in plant dietas to build energetic protection, it clears invasive energies and helps establish a strong sense of self. Chuchuwasi also supports the integration of past experiences, transforming pain into wisdom and fear into fierce self-trust.

Physically, Chuchuwasi is well known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. It is commonly used to treat rheumatism, joint pain, and muscular tension, as well as to stimulate circulation and support the immune system. Its warming quality helps to ignite the inner fire, making it particularly beneficial for those recovering from trauma, illness, or long periods of emotional heaviness.

She is an Associate Agent and assistant to &nbsp;Senior Agent Annabel Merullo and Head of Books Tim Bates as the UK sub-agent for New Directions Publishing in the US. Daisy is actively building a list of both fiction and non-fiction authors across a range of genres.With fiction, Daisy&#39;s wishlist roughly falls into three categories &ndash; if something feels like it overlaps between them, even better!1) Sharp, original novels on the literary to upmarket spectrum, all the way from deeply dark and boundary-pushing books like&nbsp;Hurricane Season, Under The Skin&nbsp;or&nbsp;In The Cut&nbsp;to those balancing edge, heart and humour, like&nbsp;Detransition, Baby&nbsp;or&nbsp;A Visit From The Goon Squad. She loves irreverent wit, daring approaches in narrative or form, and seriously unsettling stories in equal measure, and if you can bring a few of those elements into one, it&rsquo;ll go straight to the top of her.2) Com-heavy rom-coms, whether in the dry but ultimately sob-inducing vein of&nbsp;Greta and Valdin&nbsp;or a Nora Ephron film, the escapist screwball delight of a Cary Grant classic, or the more unusual, genre-bending style of something like&nbsp;Palm Springs. I&rsquo;m a sucker for Emily Henry and will always be happy to see an innovative take on tropey love stories, but Daisy is equally very keen to see to things a bit outside of the box, whether that&rsquo;s integrating speculative elements, dark humour, or topical issues. In any case, humour and originality are my priority, and affectionately snarky bickering is the best way to make her fall head over heels with a couple.3) Sleuths! Daisy is not the right person for police procedurals, but loves classic detectives and amateur sleuths. Whether it&rsquo;s a delightful Knives Out&nbsp;or&nbsp;Nancy Drew homage or an intricate, unputdownable mystery on the darker side, the minute someone finds a good old fashioned clue, count her in!Overall, whether it&rsquo;s a delightfully fun and scandalous page-turner or something really bold and experimental, if it&rsquo;s stylish and smart &ndash; and maybe even a bit sexy &ndash; Daisy would love to see it.Daisy is definitely interested in literary speculative fiction, though not generally looking for hard SFF. Across the board, she is always looking for stories that explore sexuality, race, gender, and disability, and would particularly love to hear from writers whose voices and experiences aren&rsquo;t given enough space in publishing.On the non-fiction side, Daisy is looking for bold new insights and underrepresented voices on popular science, nature writing, relationships, social issues and politics, and am always especially interested in fresh, playful and exciting writing on pop culture, love and the internet. She&rsquo;d also love to see illuminating narrative non-fiction, whether a beautiful and lyrical exploration, or an enthralling and explosive deep-dive. A (large) handful of authors past and present whose work Daisy loves include Patricia Lockwood, Toni Morrison, Elif Batuman, Gillian Flynn, Shirley Jackson, Raven Leilani, Max Porter, Carmen Maria Machado, Virginia Woolf, Sayaka Murata, Kiley Reid, Sally Rooney, George Saunders, Joan Didion, Amy Liptrot, Ottessa Moshfegh, J.D. Salinger, Donna Tartt, Bret Easton Ellis, and Fernanda Melchor.Daisy is not the right fit for Children&rsquo;s or YA authors.&nbsp;Daisy would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 2,500 words 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, Daisy is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Daisy Chandley joined PFD in 2019 after graduating from the University of Oxford with a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She is an Associate Agent and assistant to Senior Agent Annabel Merullo and Head of Books Tim Bates as the UK sub-agent for New Directions Publishing in the US. Daisy is actively building a list of both fiction and non-fiction authors across a range of genres.

With fiction, Daisy's wishlist roughly falls into three categories – if something feels like it overlaps between them, even better!

1) Sharp, original novels on the literary to upmarket spectrum, all the way from deeply dark and boundary-pushing books like Hurricane Season, Under The Skin or In The Cut to those balancing edge, heart and humour, like Detransition, Baby or A Visit From The Goon Squad. She loves irreverent wit, daring approaches in narrative or form, and seriously unsettling stories in equal measure, and if you can bring a few of those elements into one, it’ll go straight to the top of her.

2) Com-heavy rom-coms, whether in the dry but ultimately sob-inducing vein of Greta and Valdin or a Nora Ephron film, the escapist screwball delight of a Cary Grant classic, or the more unusual, genre-bending style of something like Palm Springs. Daisy is a sucker for Emily Henry and will always be happy to see an innovative take on tropey love stories, but is equally very keen to see to things a bit outside of the box, whether that’s integrating speculative elements, dark humour, or topical issues. In any case, humour and originality are my priority, and affectionately snarky bickering is the best way to make her fall head over heels with a couple.

3) Sleuths! Daisy is not the right person for police procedurals, but loves classic detectives and amateur sleuths. Whether it’s a delightful Knives Out or Nancy Drew homage or an intricate, unputdownable mystery on the darker side, the minute someone finds a good old fashioned clue, count her in!

Overall, whether it’s a delightfully fun and scandalous page-turner or something really bold and experimental, if it’s stylish and smart – and maybe even a bit sexy – Daisy would love to see it.

Daisy is definitely interested in literary speculative fiction, though not generally looking for hard SFF. Across the board, she is always looking for stories that explore sexuality, race, gender, and disability, and would particularly love to hear from writers whose voices and experiences aren’t given enough space in publishing.

Born and raised in Belgium, on a diet of frites and Tintin she moved to England in her late teens with her family, then stayed in London to do a History degree and Masters at University College London. Having been brought up bilingual, translation rights seemed like her logical next step. She started off in the rights department at Bloomsbury Publishing, before hopping across the square to Ed Victor&rsquo;s agency, and found experiencing both the publishing and agency side of publishing incredibly valuable.She has been building her own list of authors alongside selling translation rights since early 2016, which she has hugely enjoyed; working with authors right from the book&rsquo;s conception, while also experiencing the thrill of selling her own authors&rsquo; works in the UK and US as well as in translation to publishers across the globe.In terms of adult fiction, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se has a huge soft spot for historical fiction, having read Early Modern History at university, but is also very much on the hunt for crime/thrillers, bookclub, high-concept love stories and literary fiction. She loves strong female characters, in particular when they go through an evolution or journey as the story progresses and gradually find that inner strength.On the children&rsquo;s fiction front, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se is all about finding a fresh, new voice. She loves all things funny, fantasy and adventure &ndash; across lands, time and space, and involving strong friendships and strong lead characters - and wants to be transported straight away when reading a manuscript. She likes very vivid, well-crafted and imaginative worlds, such as stories set in a toy factory or in an underwater world. Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would love some more adventures set in space, mysteries, quirky characters, explorers and imaginary friends.And last, but not least, in non-fiction, history features heavily in her interests, but Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would also love to see books about big ideas, culture, sociology, science, anthropology and memoir.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Una is a Rights Agent at Susanna Lea Associates and am starting to build a client list. 

She grew up in London and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA in English in 2021. At university, Una was particularly interested in contemporary West African and South Asian literature. She started as an agent's assistant at SLA London in 2022 and now handles some translation rights and provides support with editorial work and submissions.

Una's favourite reads always set her at ease right away and draws her in with impressive and accessible storytelling, memorable characters or an original hook. Una enjoys writing which expands her worldview, makes her laugh out loud or keeps her on her toes with its twists and turns. She welcomes submissions from debut authors and would be keen to read across a wide range of genres and styles.

She is looking for literary, upmarket and book club fiction, and is always drawn to stories that explores the challenges and complexities of love and relationships in all its forms —within families, between friends or in romantic relationships. Una loves the way in which familial relationships are dissected in The Wren, The Wren by Anne Enright and the impact of the local community in Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson. She is always drawn to novels with a strong sense of community, whether they are unified by geography, culture, or in other unexpected ways.

Una has always loved reading international and translated fiction and welcomes submissions from authors writing contemporary fiction that engages with cultures and traditions from around the world, such as in voices of the deities in Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi or the subversive tales of Sayaka Murata. 

She is not looking for children’s or YA titles, science fiction or high-concept fantasy, but is open to submissions from authors writing in the speculative fiction space, and books with fantastical or otherworldly elements, be that magical realism or supernatural horror, such as Mona Awad's campus novel with a twist, Bunny. Una would also love to read more writing that engages with the natural world and reminds us of the limitations of human understanding.

In non-fiction, Una enjoys books that furthers her understanding of wider societal issues — nature and the environment, culture, and little-known history. Her recent non-fiction favourites are Eve by Cat Bohannon, Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein and Unearthed by Claire Ratinon.

Una would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Una 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.
