LOOKING FOR: MG, YA, ADULT FICTION, ADULT NON-FICTION, NON-FICTION FOR 7+ Megan Carroll is looking for writers in a variety of areas, and from a wide range of backgrounds â she is particularly keen to hear from Black, Asian, and LGBTQIA+ writers. Her main areas of focus this year are adult fiction and non-fiction, as well as non-fiction for 7+, and MG and YA fiction. In Fiction, Megan is keen to see high-concept love stories (think The Flat Share or The Lock In) for both commercial and reading group readers. Sheâd love to see those familiar romance tropes â enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, love triangles, forbidden love etc. â with underrepresented characters at the centre. She is also looking for historical fiction and gothic horror (think Laura Purcell, Stacey Halls and Silvia Moreno-Garcia) â anything that has a creepy, uneasy undertone is likely for Meganâs list. Megan is also actively looking for upmarket fiction and would love to see layered family drama, contemporary stories about life today and darkly comic novels that explore a specific time, place or experience. In Non-Fiction, Megan is keen to hear from experts in their field talking about topics relating to film, music, true crime, popular culture, history and issues from largely unrepresented perspectives. She is keen to see memoir, narrative non-fiction and essay collections. In Childrenâs and YA, she is keen to see contemporary YA with humour, and romance at the heart â fun and emotional stories that appeal to the interests and issues of the teenage readers. Sheâd also love to see thrillers and horror stories for this age group too. Itâs unlikely that high fantasy novels for YA readers will be right for her, but she is keen to see stories with fantasy elements in a real world setting. On the younger end, Megan is looking for funny, contemporary middle grade â think Louise Rennison and Karen McCombie â and anything creepy and spooky for 8-12 year old readers too. Sheâd love to find something like Lemony Snicketâs A Series of Unfortunate Events and is keen to find original adventure stories in both fantasy and realistic settings. Megan 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, Megan 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. The submission deadline is: Wednesday 25th June 2025
Following Jesus could leave even St Paul saying, ânow we see dimlyâ. It is altogether too wonderful and beyond human understanding to be reduced to questions and answers. We find ourselves in the quirky, even contradictory world of parables, led down apparent side tracks, losing and finding, as we trace the gifts and movements of the Spirit. Each relationship of accompaniment must find its own way of making this journey as we seek the wisdom and guidance of Christ together. We will be exploring this together in the context of the New Testament and our work and experience as spiritual directors. David Runcorn calls himself a âfree-range priestâ. He is a theological teacher, speaker and spiritual director and trainer. He is the author of a number of books â including The Language of Tears and Playing in the Dust - a pilgrimage with the creation stories.
