An intermediate-level training that will help you learn how hackers find SQL injections with Sqlmap, web application security testing with Google Hacking, fuzzing with Burp Suite, and exploiting race conditions with OWASP ZAP. You will learn how to use these tools in your penetration testing projects and use them to protect your web applications.
Ethical hackers and penetration testers need a very good toolbox to do their job efficiently. They would also need to learn step-by-step how to use the tools from this toolbox and that's exactly what this course delivers. In this course, we will demonstrate Sqlmap, which is the most powerful tool for automated SQL injection detection and exploitation. The course will also present Google Hacking and show you how it can be used to find security weaknesses in web applications. Later on in the course, you will be presented with fuzzing, which is a vulnerability detection technique used by many successful hackers, and it will be demonstrated how to perform fuzzing with Burp Suite Intruder. Finally, you will learn how to exploit race conditions with OWASP ZAP. Race conditions can lead to very dangerous attacks on modern web applications, and this is exactly what we will demonstrate at later stages. By the end of this course, you will have worked on the tools used by successful hackers and start using them in your own penetration testing projects going forward.

LOOKING FOR: YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Laura Williams is literary agent at the Greene and Heaton Literary Agency. She is seeking literary fiction, commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high concept Young Adult.

Laura is actively building a fiction list and a small non-fiction list. She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy. 

Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through. She also loves stories about female friendships or conversely groups of women who don't get on, such as the hugely fun BAD SUMMER PEOPLE by Emma Rosenblum. She is always on the lookout for a big tragic love story to make her cry happy or sad tears. At the more commercial end of fiction, think funny novels with warmth and romantic comedies with a bit of depth – think Marian Keyes.

Most of all Laura is looking for novels she hasn’t read before – something unusual structurally or thematically, something that shines a light on a subject the author is passionate about, something that’ll break her heart or raise her blood in an entirely new way. Laura is always looking to promote diverse voices from across the globe, and is particularly keen on LGBTQI+ stories.

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

(In addition to the paid sessions, Laura 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: Friday 25 July at 12 noon UK BST

Ciara would consider her reading tastes to be quite broad and ever-growing, but is constantly drawn to books that have a decisive voice, unforgettable characters, an unexpected story, or can subvert and reconstruct the conventional narratives of love, friendship, family, loss and coming-of-age. In particular, she is looking for Adult and YA fantasy and romantasy, rom-coms and book club romance.

In the wider fantasy genre, Ciara is keen on finding romantasy, cozy fantasy, dark/light academia, and anything with political intrigue. She seeks novels that will keep her reading into the early hours of the morning. She wants to be consumed by the world, the plot and the characters. Think authors like Leigh Bardugo, Tamsyn Muir, R.F. Kuang, Sangu Mandanna, Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Deborah Harkness, Chloe Gong, Ava Reid or Sabaa Tahir.

In romcoms and romance, Ciara is looking for something that explores the complicated nature of romantic relationships - think Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid. She would love to find a brilliantly witty workplace romance or anything that will leave her in tears.

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

(In addition to the paid sessions, Ciara 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 30th July 2025

What is a Technical Author or a Technical Writer?
Technical Authors are sometimes known as: Technical Communicators, Technical Writers, Content Developers, Information Developers and Documentarians.
From prospects.ac.uk:
Technical Authors communicate specialist information about how products and services work and how they can be applied or used in a way that's easy to understand. The information may be presented in the form of user guides for software applications, reference and instruction manuals for appliances, training guides, instructional videos or online help incorporated into software and operating guides. For a successful career as a Technical Author you'll need to be a fast learner, with excellent communication skills and the ability to convey factual information clearly and concisely.
The work is often varied, interesting and rewarding.
Comments from delegates
There is something new to learn for most technical authors who are in the early stages of their career. Overall, I would say that the course did benefit me, and I can see myself revisiting parts of it in the future.
Emma W., ARM plc
I attended a job interview which included a written exercise where I had to jot down how I would go about designing and presenting information for the users of the service unit I was applying to. I could not believe my luck, it was as if the interviewer had designed it with the contents of this course in mind, and, as a result, I got the job!
Amber A.
I thought it was an excellent course – very thought-provoking and useful. The exercises were enjoyable and really helped, far beyond simply reading from a book about the tasks involved in the job. And I greatly appreciate all your advice and support.
Karl D.
Thank you very much for all your feed-back – I’ve been reading through this as it has come in this morning. This is really useful and very much appreciated.

What will I learn?
In this course, we’ll take you through the process of creating technical documentation. You’ll learn and practise:
The purpose and value of technical documentation (aka having an answer if people ask why you should be doing this work).
The entire documentation process. We’ll explain what you need to do, from beginning to end. We cover planning, writing, editing, indexing, and production.
The skills you need as a technical communicator.
How to work more efficiently. This framework will help you avoid wasting time.
How to work more effectively. We’ll show you how to write and design your information in a structured, useful, usable and informed way.
What the course does not cover
We don’t like to overhype our courses, so here are some reasons why not to get our technical writing training course. Those are:
If you have requirements for your documents to meet specific regulatory documentation standards in these industry sectors: aerospace, military, railway, or automotive.
Where documentation must be written to a specific XML standard. (You’ll need to take our DITA module in our advanced course as well).
If you need to write technical API documentation for developers. (You’ll need to take our API module in our advanced course as well).
Apart from that, this course will help you create the user assistance for your application or product.

Comments from delegates
There is something new to learn for most technical authors who are in the early stages of their career. Overall, I would say that the course did benefit me, and I can see myself revisiting parts of it in the future.
Emma W., ARM plc
I attended a job interview which included a written exercise where I had to jot down how I would go about designing and presenting information for the users of the service unit I was applying to. I could not believe my luck, it was as if the interviewer had designed it with the contents of this course in mind, and, as a result, I got the job!
Amber A.
I thought it was an excellent course – very thought-provoking and useful. The exercises were enjoyable and really helped, far beyond simply reading from a book about the tasks involved in the job. And I greatly appreciate all your advice and support.
Karl D.
Thank you very much for all your feed-back – I’ve been reading through this as it has come in this morning. This is really useful and very much appreciated.
David H.


Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for you if you need to:
Create end-user documentation and other forms of instructional content with ease
Master the fundamentals of technical writing
Get a solid understanding of the Technical Author’s role.
This course is ideal for more experienced technical writers who’ve never had any formal training.
What is a Technical Author?
Technical Authors are sometimes known as: Technical Communicators, Technical Writers, Content Developers, Information Developers and Documentarians.
Based in the United States or mainland Europe?
We've designed the course to work for people living all around the world. On the videos, you'll hear a lovely, clear British accent.
What will I learn?
In this course, we’ll take you through the process of creating technical documentation. You’ll learn and practise:
The purpose and value of technical documentation (aka having an answer if people ask why you should be doing this work).
The entire documentation process. We’ll explain what you need to do, from beginning to end. We cover planning, writing, editing, indexing, and production.
The skills you need as a technical communicator.
How to work more efficiently. This framework will help you avoid wasting time.
How to work more effectively. We’ll show you how to write and design your information in a structured, useful, usable and informed way.
We don’t like to overhype our courses, so here are some reasons why not to get our technical writing training course. Those are:
If you have requirements for your documents to meet specific regulatory documentation standards in these industry sectors: aerospace, military, railway, or automotive.
Where documentation must be written to a specific XML standard. (You’ll need to take our DITA module in our advanced course as well).
If you need to write technical API documentation for developers. (You’ll need to take our API module in our advanced course as well).
Apart from that, this course will help you create the user assistance for your application or product.
Duration and delivery format
The course comprises 15 modules in total, which you can complete at your own pace.
The course modules are delivered over the Web in small, manageable video presentations. You can download the course handouts as Word or PDF files. With the time needed to complete the exercises, you will need to allocate around two days in order to complete the course.
You can pause the videos at any time and return to the course at times that suit you.
