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.

Leaders and managers are powerful people who are able to exercise considerable influence over the way in which an organisation operates and its employees.

This course examines the role of the ethical leader and the influence that he or she can exert in terms of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and improving an organisation’s ethical climate.

Responsible and Irresponsible Project Management Project managers have begun to embrace the concept that they have a responsibility beyond value creation for a narrow group of stakeholders. Since the early 2000s, the adoption of agile moved the focus of PM from company to customer value creation. Responsible PM seeks to extend our perspective to encourage Societal value creation (positive long-term environmental and social impacts) and reduce irresponsible PM, which is societal value destruction. Responsible Project Managers take ownership of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and enact them in their daily practice in an ethical manner. In this way, Responsible PM is differentiated from Corporate Social Responsibility, which is focused on organizational level representations and processes of enacting societal and community responsibility.
