LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, SCIENCE FICTION / FANTASY After several years spent within publishing houses Bookouture, Canelo, Avon, One More Chapter and Head of Zeus, Hannah Todd became a Literary Agent at the Madeleine Milburn Literary, TV & Film Agency, before joining Janklow & Nesbit in January 2025. Her clients include Kirsty Greenwood, Charlie Gallagher and Leah Mercer. Hannah is keen to see commercial fiction across the board, but with a particular focus on romance, Science Fiction/Fantasy & mystery novels. She is drawn to books with exemplary characterisation, voice and strength of feeling. But don't let your characterisation overshadow the need for impeccable plot and if you can make her laugh or cry then you're onto a winner! Across the full light-dark spectrum Hannah especially loves SFF that features an unlikely band of heroes, like the Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo, Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard series, Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, T. Kingfisher's Nettle and Bone,and the cosy themes/settings offered by Heather Fawcett and TJ Klune. Hannah's advice is make sure you have a clear USP and hook: If you are sending your reader to a magical academy, or if we're riding dragons or waving wands, that's great! But what makes your book feel different and fresh? An excellent voice is key, but what else makes your take on these tropes stand out? An example of a phenomenal book that has turned the magical academy trope on its head, with layers of excellent world building, a unique magic system and plot twists galore is The Will of the Many by James Islington. If you have something crafted this beautifully then Hannah wants to see it! Romantasy of varying spice levels, accessible to both romance and fantasy readers, is on Hannah's wishlist. And you can whisk her away with contemporary romance novels, romcoms, sweeping love stories that redefine the genre. Romcoms with great disability rep and LGBTQIA+ stories that focus on the joy of falling in love are high on Hannah's agenda. She particularly loves Emily Henry, Laura Wood and Abby Jiminez. Think more Nicholas Sparks than Sally Rooney, and Bonnie Garmus rather than Gabrielle Zevin. In this space, she is a big fan of Emma Donoghue, Bonnie Garmus and Jojo Moyes. Meet with Hannah to discuss your crime and high-concept thrillers with an unsettling ‘it-could-happen-to-me’ feeling, coupled with a twist that's unseen until its delivery. The book she most wants to find in this space is something like Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton in both its themes (real-world emotional suspense) and its execution. A mystery series that feels like a real 'romp' is something she loves to escape with too. With regards to all genres, Hannah is particularly interested in voices from underrepresented backgrounds: such as writers of colour, indigenous communities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those with disabilities. Hannah does not the right agent to give advice on: Re-imaginings of the classics Books that feature characters putting on Shakespeare plays! Historical fiction Children's, middle-grade and YA Hannah would like you to submit a covering letter, one page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document. (In addition to the paid sessions, Hannah 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: Monday 4th August 2025

Description Dyslexia Awareness diploma The Dyslexia Awareness diploma course revolves around Dyslexia, a learning disorder that affects children early on in life and impairs their reading, writing, speaking and spelling abilities. Although not entirely curable, the condition's intensity can be watered down with prompt diagnoses and appropriate teaching strategies. The joint efforts of teachers and parents are pivotal in treating dyslexic children. The Dyslexia Awareness diploma course will benefit individuals planning on seeking employment in the sector of education where there is a likelihood that they will encounter dyslexic children and those who merely want to gain some insight on the disorder. It comprises a progressive guide and interactive material, enabling an engaging and efficient learning experience. The Dyslexia Awareness diploma course will give you an insight into the different forms of Dyslexia plus other similar learning disorders. It will elucidate the common signs and symptoms of Dyslexia and what each of these symptoms entails. You will be acquainted with the common behavioural traits of dyslexic children in an academic setting. Moreover, this Dyslexia Awareness diploma course will shed light on the available cognitive approaches employed in treating dyslexic children. You will recognise how laws work concerning Dyslexia and how those regulations are implemented in school settings. This flexible Dyslexia Awareness diploma course covers all the crucial aspects of the condition and prepares you for your real-life encounters. Dyslexia impairs many learning aspects, which may lead to low self-esteem. This course will dispense the necessary recourses that you need to be able to grasp the condition better. You will be able to detect low self-esteem in dyslexic children and ways to come to their aid. You will understand the various approaches schools take to make learning easier for a child suffering from this disorder. Dyslexia may go undetected for a while unless you, a loved one, or your students have the condition. Moreover, the situation is likely misunderstood because it is seemingly 'invisible'. Many of the difficulties faced by dyslexic children may go unnoticed. Developmental Dyslexia, more commonly referred to as Dyslexia, impairs certain brain functions, leading to abnormal language processing. This makes learning cumbersome since children with Dyslexia cannot write, read, spell, or speak as typical children do. It must be noted that this condition does not impact a child's intelligence. This course commences with an introductory insight into Dyslexia, its effects on children ill with the disorder, and the possible causes behind it. This course also touches on Specific Learning difficulties or SpLD and how children with the disease are likely to suffer from other conditions. These possible SpLDs are elucidated along with tips on detecting and caring for children ill with these disorders. Not only will this course on Dyslexia strengthen your understanding of a dyslexic child's mentality and prepare you with strategies and tools to cater to the child's emotional needs, helping them realise that they are worthy of achieving great things in life. What you will learn 1: Introduction to Dyslexia 2: Signs and Symptoms 3: Testing for Dyslexia 4: Schools and Programs 5: Letters, Words and Phonics 6: Supporting your child 7: Dyslexic teen 8: Succeeding with Dyslexia in College and Adulthood 9: Tools and programs Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.
