LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, MG, YA, ADULT FICTION Clare Wallace joined the Darley Anderson Agency in January 2011 and is building both the Darley Anderson Children’s Agency and the Darley Anderson Illustration Agency lists as well as taking on adult fiction for debut authors. Clare is particularly looking for funny chapter books for younger readers at the moment, as well as contemporary MG, YA fantasy, romance, and rom coms, especially with underrepresented protagonists. For picture books she has the widest taste, from daft to lyrical, rhyming to prose. As well as being busy with the children’s and illustration agencies, Clare is open to debut adult fiction submissions that could be described as book club, rom-com, romance, saga, reading group, fantasy or historical fiction. She often doesn’t know what she’s looking for until she finds it (although she is not the person for steampunk or space opera). She represents picture books, middle-grade, teenage and YA and debut adult fiction. The clients Clare represents include Perdita & Honor Cargill, Caroline Crowe, Tom Ellen, Martyn Ford, Stewart Foster, Olivia Hope, A M Howell, Polly Ho-Yen, Rachel Ip, Beth Reekles, J.P. Rose, Lindsay Galvin, Dave Rudden, Deirdre Sullivan and Efua Traoré. Whatever the age range, Clare loves a big hook, a lot of heart, and a standout voice. She loves to discover memorable new characters, bold and unique voices, strong concepts and gripping storytelling. This list gives a good indication of Clare's taste but if your submission doesn’t fit a description here, it doesn’t mean Clare doesn’t want to receive it. Clare would like you to send a covering letter, a one page synopsis and the first three chapters (Max 5000 words) of your manuscript.

Description Play Therapy Diploma Introducing the Play Therapy Diploma, a cutting-edge online course that paves the way for aspiring therapists and practitioners to enhance their skillset in the dynamic field of play therapy. This course is an intricate blend of theories, models, and practical techniques aimed to cater to the multifaceted needs of children and young individuals. The Play Therapy Diploma begins with a robust introduction to play therapy, presenting a comprehensive understanding of its fundamentals. With the vast realm of therapeutic approaches available, it's crucial for therapists to be well-versed in a range of models. This course provides an in-depth exploration of various theoretical approaches, ensuring that learners gain a holistic view of play therapy's therapeutic landscape. Humanistic Models in Play Therapy emerge as an integral part of this course. For those unfamiliar, humanistic models emphasise personal growth, self-awareness, and the innate ability of individuals to find fulfilment. By integrating these models into play therapy, practitioners can ensure a more empathetic and nurturing approach to their sessions, fostering positive change in their clients. Another crucial component of the Play Therapy Diploma is the segment on Systemic Play Therapy. This approach recognises the importance of understanding and intervening in the broader systems that children and young people operate within, be it family, school, or the larger community. As the course progresses, learners encounter a treasure trove of techniques tailored for play therapy. Toy and Object Play Techniques, for instance, demonstrate the immense potential of toys and objects as therapeutic tools. Toys aren't merely playthings; they serve as vital mediums for children to communicate their feelings, fears, and dreams. But the learning doesn't stop there. Metaphors and Storytelling in Play Therapy sheds light on the power of narratives. Stories have always been a part of human culture, and in play therapy, they become transformative tools that help children make sense of their experiences. Role-play, often seen in various settings from schools to professional training programmes, has a special place in play therapy. The section on Role-Play Techniques in the Play Therapy Diploma familiarises learners with the intricacies of role-playing as a therapeutic technique, enabling children to enact scenarios, understand different perspectives, and find resolutions. The course then ventures into the vibrant world of Creative Arts Techniques. Art has an uncanny ability to express what words sometimes cannot. Through these techniques, learners will grasp the significance of using art as a medium for children to convey their emotions and thoughts. Venturing further into the imaginative realms, the Imagery and Fantasy Techniques section equips therapists with tools to harness the power of imagination. Fantasy, when channelled correctly, can serve as a potent therapeutic agent, assisting children in processing their emotions and building resilience. Lastly, but certainly not least, Game Play Techniques come into the spotlight. Games, with their rules, challenges, and rewards, mirror many aspects of real life. Through this module, therapists will comprehend the potential of games as a means to address various emotional and behavioural challenges in children. In summary, the Play Therapy Diploma is an all-encompassing online course meticulously designed for those eager to master the art and science of play therapy. By blending theory with practical techniques, it ensures that every learner emerges with the competence and confidence to make a positive impact in the lives of young individuals through play therapy.
