LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION

Upon joining Curtis Brown in 2018, Ciara Finan worked with senior agents Jonny Geller and Sheila Crowley on their lists of bestselling and prize-winning authors such as Lisa Jewell, Susanna Clarke, David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Nigella Lawson. Now as an agent she is representing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction writers.

Ciara would consider her reading tastes to be quite broad and ever-growing, but is constantly drawn to books that have a decisive voice, unforgettable characters, an unexpected story, or can subvert and reconstruct the conventional narratives of love, friendship, family, loss and coming-of-age. In particular, she is looking for Adult and YA fantasy and romantasy, rom-coms and book club romance.

In the wider fantasy genre, Ciara is keen on finding romantasy, cozy fantasy, dark/light academia, and anything with political intrigue. She seeks novels that will keep her reading into the early hours of the morning. She wants to be consumed by the world, the plot and the characters. Think authors like Leigh Bardugo, Tamsyn Muir, R.F. Kuang, Sangu Mandanna, Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Deborah Harkness, Chloe Gong, Ava Reid or Sabaa Tahir.

In romcoms and romance, Ciara is looking for something that explores the complicated nature of romantic relationships - think Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid. She would love to find a brilliantly witty workplace romance or anything that will leave her in tears.

Ciara would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 -2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Ciara 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).

LOOKING FOR: YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Laura Williams is literary agent at the Greene and Heaton Literary Agency. She is seeking literary fiction, commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high concept Young Adult.

Laura is actively building a fiction list and a small non-fiction list. She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy. 

Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through. She also loves stories about female friendships or conversely groups of women who don't get on, such as the hugely fun BAD SUMMER PEOPLE by Emma Rosenblum. She is always on the lookout for a big tragic love story to make her cry happy or sad tears. At the more commercial end of fiction, think funny novels with warmth and romantic comedies with a bit of depth – think Marian Keyes.

Most of all Laura is looking for novels she hasn’t read before – something unusual structurally or thematically, something that shines a light on a subject the author is passionate about, something that’ll break her heart or raise her blood in an entirely new way. Laura is always looking to promote diverse voices from across the globe, and is particularly keen on LGBTQI+ stories.

Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, a 1-2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Laura 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).

Discipline 2 is based on the principle that not all actions are created equal.

What important conversations are your team members avoiding?

Side-stepping difficult conversations can trap a team in unresolved problems, strained relationships, and missed chances for growth, which blocks progress and cultivates a lack of trust.
But many people avoid difficult conversations or handle them poorly because they’re afraid to address uncomfortable issues and feel unprepared to respond to the emotional reactions that inevitably arise.
Navigating Difficult Conversations: Turn Tension Into Progress takes a targeted approach to helping people to manage emotional tension and conduct conversations in a way that enables all parties to stay engaged in collaborative dialogue.
Participants will shift their mindset from fearing and avoiding difficult conversations to seeing them as the way to make progress on important issues. And they’ll develop the skills to build trust and respect in every relationship as they navigate sensitive topics.


Who Should Attend?
This programme is for anyone who finds the thought if having a challenging or difficult conversation, something to be very nervous of, even to the point of avoiding the issue.
We recommend that participants have first attended our Aspire programmes, Management Essentials and Performance Coaching, as they provide a strong foundation to the topic, which this session then builds upon.
In Navigating Difficult Conversations participants will discover how to balance Courage and Consideration throughout the conversation by:
Sharing their Purpose—the issue they need to make progress on—and Positive Intent—how they want the other person to benefit from the conversation
Responding to emotional reactions using the skills:
Pause, Don’t Panic
Observe, Don’t Judge
Ask, Don’t Assume
Outcomes
This module will help participants:
Create a strong foundation for difficult conversations by setting a clear and collaborative tone that balances their own and others’ needs.
Understand that emotional reactions are a natural, human response—and notice them as a signal that the conversation needs an adjustment to stay on track.
Practice a range of tactics to respond in the moment to help everyone stay engaged and make progress.

Peer supervision for clinical hypnotherapists offers several benefits that contribute to their professional growth and development. Here are some key advantages: Enhanced Reflective Practice:&nbsp;Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to reflect on their own practice and gain insight into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Through discussions with peers, they can explore different perspectives and approaches, deepening their understanding of their therapeutic work. Continuous Learning:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to expand their knowledge base by learning from the experiences and expertise of their peers. They can share innovative techniques, new research findings, and emerging trends in the field, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development. Emotional Support:&nbsp;The nature of clinical hypnotherapy can be emotionally demanding, and hypnotherapists may encounter challenging situations or difficult clients. Peer supervision provides a safe and supportive space for therapists to share their experiences, express their concerns, and receive emotional support from others who understand the unique demands of their work. Feedback and Validation:&nbsp;Peer supervision offers a valuable platform for receiving feedback and validation from fellow professionals. Colleagues can provide constructive criticism, offer fresh perspectives, and help identify blind spots or areas for improvement. This feedback helps hypnotherapists refine their skills and approaches, ultimately enhancing the quality of their clinical practice. Ethical Guidance:&nbsp;Ethical considerations are crucial in the field of hypnotherapy. Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to discuss ethical dilemmas they may face and seek guidance from their peers. Collaborative discussions around ethical issues help hypnotherapists maintain professional standards and navigate complex situations. Networking and Collaboration:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to build a network of professional contacts. This network can lead to collaborative opportunities, referrals, and potential partnerships, enhancing their professional growth and expanding their practice. Professional Accountability:&nbsp;Peer supervision establishes a sense of accountability among hypnotherapists. When therapists know they will be discussing their work with peers, they are more likely to maintain high standards and engage in self-reflection to ensure the quality of their practice.
