7 hours of live classes to help you develop fluent speaking in English
Discuss this novel and learn about the life of Cicero and politics and power in ancient Rome
Be corrected by an expert English teacher to remove errors and mistakes

Practise and develop your English online in this 7 week English book club course using Imperium by Robert Harris. Each week you read some chapters, discuss them in class and improve specific areas of vocabulary or grammar while also examining literary aspects of the novel. Personalised feedback improves your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

The Book Club book
Robert Harris, the master of innovative historical fiction, introduces us to the world of Roman politics with his portrayal of the rise of Marcus Cicero, a young Roman senator. The world of intrigue and electoral corruption is both remarkably similar to our own, while also being very different. 
The story of Cicero's rise is told through Tiro, Cicero's secretary and slave who invented shorthand and wrote numerous books, including a celebrated biography of the great orator, which was lost in the dark ages. Imperium is therefore the re-creation of Tiro's missing masterpiece, telling the first part of the story of Cicero alongside Pompey, Caesar, Crassus, and the many other significant Romans.

 Geoff says:
"This is the first book of the "Cicero trilogy" - a gripping read, full of drama and suspense and a fascinating portrayal of life in Rome"

The Book Club book
Elif Shafak is a British Turkish novelist. There Are Rivers in the Sky is a rich, enchanting novel focusing on three characters, in three different times and places, all somehow touched by the Mesopotamian poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh. As well as a gripping story it is also a story of the preciousness of water - the characters live along the banks of the River Tigris and the River Thames in London.
In 1840 London, Arthur is born next to the unpleasant, polluted River Thames. Arthur has a remarkable memory, which will help him to escape poverty, by joining a book publishers. And one book sparks his interest: Nineveh and Its Remains.

In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is going deaf. Consequently, her grandmother wants to travel to the family’s ancestral lands along the Tigris in Iraq to baptize her in a special temple. But how to cope to the rising presence of ISIS in the area?

In 2018 London, Zaleekah, a newly divorced hydrologist, escapes from her husband by moving into a houseboat on the Thames. Things are looking bleak for her, until a strange book about her homeland changes everything.

Geoff says:

The Book Club book
This book is a modern classic - one of the finest books written in the last 50 years. Donna Tartt went on to write the best-selling "The Goldfinch" but this was her debut novel that shook the literary world with its brilliance in 1992. It is a "dark academia" genre - about a group of super clever university students and their classics professor at a New England university college. The book opens with a murder and as we read we discover how the group of friends bonded at college and what happened next. It is brilliantly narrated by liberal Richard Papen who describes the excitement of new and challenging friends and ideas. But the search for a life away from the mundane leads them to new and dangerous thoughts.

The Book Club book
Harold Fry is a recently retired man living a conventional, somewhat boring life with his wife Maureen who is irritated by almost everything he does. Then one morning he receives a letter from a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in twenty years - Queenie Hennessy who is dying and is writing to say goodbye.

He quickly writes a reply but realises that he can't post this - he needs to visit her and deliver his message in person - walking the six hundred miles between them. The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry begins.

Throughout his walk he meets different characters some of whom help him to remember who he was and who he is. His memories come flooding back as he considers his life from a different perspective.

'Life-affirming delight. A comic pleasure' WOMAN AND HOME

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Emily MacDonald joined 42 management and production company in 2019, working with Eugenie Furniss across her clients. She is now an agent in the Books Department, and is building her own list.

Send Emily a story with characters that just won't leave her and a narrative that pulls her in, keeping her immersed in the world well after she has finished reading. She reads across a wide-range and has a particular interest in: book club, high-concept crime/thriller, upmarket and literary fiction. 

In fiction, Emily would love to find a crime/thriller set within a subcult: a modern retelling of British folklore (think Kamila Shamsie’s Home Fire); an unconventional love story; and a character led journey of self-discovery (especially one set within a diasporic community). 

Emily is also looking for narrative non-fiction which immerses the reader into an untold true story (personal or historical), exploring a new point of view, and providing a compelling social commentary, with an investigative twist. Think the obsessive vein of Kirk W. Johnson or personal/political dispatches of Aidan Hartley. Emily wants her horizons to expand while she reads.

In both fiction and non-fiction, Emily loves stories woven into their surroundings, where the setting is as central a character as those who drive the narrative.

In both spheres, she is keen to hear from Scottish and regional voices with stories to tell.

Please note, Emily is not currently accepting submissions for Children's lit/YA and SFF.

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

(In addition to the paid sessions, Emily 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 6th August 2025 at 12 noon UK BST

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Siân Ellis-Martin joined Blake Friedmann in 2018 and is building a list of fiction and non-fiction at the agency. 

With regards to fiction, Siân is looking for commercial, upmarket and accessible literary novels. She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character’s life and be swept into the narrative as if she’s been there all along. 
She’s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. 

She’s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she’d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. Siân leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.

In non-fiction, she’s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you’d never thought you would be. Siân would also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.

She’s not currently taking on YA, children’s, fantasy or science fiction projects.

Siân would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words, whichever is shorter) of your manuscript in a single word document.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION

Marilia Savvides founded The Plot Agency in 2024. She began her career in publishing at Peters Fraser and Dunlop, where she spent eight years, first as International Rights Agent, and later as Literary Agent, building her own list of authors. In 2019, she joined 42MP, where she worked as Literary Agent for four years, helping to launch and set up the Book Division.

She is particularly interested in fiction that is beautifully written and cleverly constructed, but still accessible to a wide readership. She is often drawn to darker tales that weave together excellent characters and an impossible-to-put-down story, from immersive book club novels with a splash of suspense, crime and thrillers, accessible horror, and speculative, genre-bending or dystopian stories. She also adores smart, witty contemporary rom-com in the style of Emily Henry.

In the thriller, crime and mystery space she is interested in most areas, except military thrillers and organised crime/ mafia / mob stories. Big hooks and clever set ups are a big bonus! She adores Karin Slaughter (especially her standalone novels) and Gillian Flynn.
In the book club / reading group space, she’s particularly drawn to fiction in the vein of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng, and absolutely fell in love with Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, both for the incredible voice, and the exquisite use of structure and time. Complicated family dynamics, empathetic and smart approaches to controversial issues, stand out protagonists (like Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry or Bernadette in Where D’You Go Bernadette), long buried secrets, complicity, the road to justice, and impossible decisions, are all themes she finds herself drawn to.

In the horror space, she’s a sucker for amazing female-centric stories in the vein of Yellowjackets, and the kind of contemporary, accessible horror that Stephen King always nails. She wants to get lost in a world that feels within reach of ours. In the speculative and dystopian spaces, she’s interested in genius ideas that set up big questions or reflect the most broken (and sometimes hidden) parts of society. She loves Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and also adored The Leftovers, Station Eleven, Wanderers, and The Power. The what-ifs of life and fiction fascinate her. In the grounded sci-fi space, she’d love to find a smart, immersive, and accessible story like The Martian.

She doesn’t represent fantasy or romantasy. In regards to sci-fi, unless it’s very grounded and has crossover potential to a mainstream audience, it’s not for her.
In the romance space, she’s particularly drawn to smart, complex and witty characters, where the chemistry is jumping off the page. She loves contemporary settings and all the tropes, though the voice and characters must come first to make the reading experience fully immersive. She wants to be cackling, and rooting for the characters with all her heart.

She is very hands-on editorially, and loves working with her authors to shape their manuscripts, and brainstorm ideas. The best part of the job is discovering debut authors, and helping them find a home for their books.

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

(In addition to the paid sessions, Marilia is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented 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.
