LOOKING FOR: MG / YA / ADULT FICTION & NON-FICTION

Steven Evans is an Agent and the Company Manager at Eve White. He grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne and studied French & Italian at Queens’ College, Cambridge. After completing an MPhil in Comparative Film & Literature, Steven lived in Paris, where he worked as a university language assistant and a freelancer for various scouting agencies. He joined Eve White Literary Agency in 2021.

Steven reads fiction and non-fiction of all kinds. The non-fiction books he loves most often shed light on under-represented perspectives, communities and histories, while in fiction he seeks novels which might explore new ideas, challenge the reader or play with style, form, character and/or plot. Above all, he likes writing which has a sense of purpose, and likes to be taken by surprise.

Items on Steven's wish list might include:
Fiction (Adult) :
Crime/thriller – might be regional or with an unusual hook/high-concept. Might have a speculative element (think Stuart Turton). A spy thriller appeals. Cosy crime with an original setting/protagonist is also welcome.
Literary fiction – worlds, characters, perspectives and histories which haven’t been written about before. Might be formally or stylistically innovative (but with a sense of purpose that links back to the story/characters).
Historical fiction – themes and ideas relevant to our current moment are on the list. Might be revisionist.
Romance – contemporary: either very heartfelt, cosy, perhaps with older characters. Or, spicy, funny, tapping into current trends.
Horror – on the literary end, perhaps with a folk tale element.
Fiction (YA) :
Thrillers
Romance
Fiction (MG) :
Fun, historical adventure exploring contemporary issues. Might be tied into the national curriculum, though without being didactic.
Quirky detective/mystery series.
Funny and warm-hearted family-/relationship-based drama with a strong voice.
Non-fiction : Voice-driven narrative non-fiction ; memoir ; big ideas.

Most of all, Steven just loves to be taken into a world and surprised by what he reads!

Steven would like you to submit a short covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your novel in a single Word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Steven 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).

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.
