SOLD OUT! 27th August Perry Emerson #Agent121. Looking for: PICTURE BOOKS

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly. You may want to start with a 5 drops a day working up depending on your sensitivity (up to a maximum of 20 drops per day) 
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

All prices include postage packaging and UK delivery and will be shipped once ready.

1. Aya Vine – Banisteriopsis caapi 
Aya Vine, also known as Banisteriopsis caapi, is the revered master vine of the Amazon, the foundational spirit of the Aya brew. 

Known as the vine of the soul, she is considered a grandmother teacher - wise, ancient, and deeply transformative.

Working with Aya Vine invites you into a space of inner reflection, emotional release, and spiritual connection. 

Her medicine can illuminate hidden patterns, support energetic cleansing, and guide you into deeper self-awareness and alignment with your path.

Often associated with visions, dreams, and soul retrieval, Aya Vine opens the doorway between the conscious and subconscious realms. 

Even in tincture form, her presence is subtle yet profound, gently bringing unresolved emotions to the surface and guiding them into release.

2. Chiric Sanango Flower - Brunfelsia grandiflora 
Chiric Sanango is one of the most respected master plants of the Amazon, a powerful teacher spirit traditionally used for cleansing, realignment, and the restoration of vital energy. Its name Chiric means “cold,” referencing its ability to draw out coldness from the body and spirit, dispelling heaviness, fear, and rigidity, and replacing them with warmth, vitality, and flow.

On a physical level, Chiric Sanango is known for improving circulation, soothing joint and bone discomfort, and relieving deep muscular tension. It has long been used to ease arthritis, rheumatism, and chronic stiffness, while also igniting vitality and enhancing libido by reawakening the life force within the body.

On an energetic and emotional level, this plant resets the nervous system, aligning the body’s structure and removing stored trauma. Chiric helps dissolve the armour we unconsciously build so that warmth and openness can return to the heart and spirit.

Many turn to Chiric Sanango to release emotional blockages, heal trauma imprints, and restore clarity and strength after periods of stagnation. It is a plant of courage and renewal, reconnecting us with the fire of life when we feel frozen, depleted, or disconnected from our own power.

3. Chuchuwasi – Maytenus krukovii
Chuchuwasi is a revered Amazonian master plant known for its powerful grounding and strengthening properties. Traditionally regarded as a warrior’s ally, it brings fortitude to both body and spirit, enhancing resilience, courage, and stamina. Chuchuwasi is often called upon to restore vitality, especially when one is feeling weakened, depleted, or energetically fragmented.

On an energetic level, Chuchuwasi reinforces personal power and boundary-setting. It teaches us to stand tall in the face of adversity, to access our inner strength, and to move through life with integrity and rooted presence. Often used in plant dietas to build energetic protection, it clears invasive energies and helps establish a strong sense of self. Chuchuwasi also supports the integration of past experiences, transforming pain into wisdom and fear into fierce self-trust.

Physically, Chuchuwasi is well known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. It is commonly used to treat rheumatism, joint pain, and muscular tension, as well as to stimulate circulation and support the immune system. Its warming quality helps to ignite the inner fire, making it particularly beneficial for those recovering from trauma, illness, or long periods of emotional heaviness.

This class is suitable for all levels.
Practising online
Create a clear and comfortable place to practice. Make sure you're not going to be disturbed. Have an extra layer handy for the relaxation period at the end just in case.
Caution
Not all asanas (postures) or movements are suitable for everyone. You should consult with your medical practitioner before beginning and yoga or exercise programme. I assume no responsibility or liability for any injuries or losses that may result from practising yoga via these online classes.

Born and raised in Belgium, on a diet of frites and Tintin she moved to England in her late teens with her family, then stayed in London to do a History degree and Masters at University College London. Having been brought up bilingual, translation rights seemed like her logical next step. She started off in the rights department at Bloomsbury Publishing, before hopping across the square to Ed Victor&rsquo;s agency, and found experiencing both the publishing and agency side of publishing incredibly valuable.She has been building her own list of authors alongside selling translation rights since early 2016, which she has hugely enjoyed; working with authors right from the book&rsquo;s conception, while also experiencing the thrill of selling her own authors&rsquo; works in the UK and US as well as in translation to publishers across the globe.In terms of adult fiction, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se has a huge soft spot for historical fiction, having read Early Modern History at university, but is also very much on the hunt for crime/thrillers, bookclub, high-concept love stories and literary fiction. She loves strong female characters, in particular when they go through an evolution or journey as the story progresses and gradually find that inner strength.On the children&rsquo;s fiction front, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se is all about finding a fresh, new voice. She loves all things funny, fantasy and adventure &ndash; across lands, time and space, and involving strong friendships and strong lead characters - and wants to be transported straight away when reading a manuscript. She likes very vivid, well-crafted and imaginative worlds, such as stories set in a toy factory or in an underwater world. Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would love some more adventures set in space, mysteries, quirky characters, explorers and imaginary friends.And last, but not least, in non-fiction, history features heavily in her interests, but Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would also love to see books about big ideas, culture, sociology, science, anthropology and memoir. Anything that helps expand the mind and questions or informs the way in which we view ourselves, the world and how we fit into it, all written in an engaging and accessible manner.Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Una is a Rights Agent at Susanna Lea Associates and am starting to build a client list. 

She grew up in London and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA in English in 2021. At university, Una was particularly interested in contemporary West African and South Asian literature. She started as an agent's assistant at SLA London in 2022 and now handles some translation rights and provides support with editorial work and submissions.

Una's favourite reads always set her at ease right away and draws her in with impressive and accessible storytelling, memorable characters or an original hook. Una enjoys writing which expands her worldview, makes her laugh out loud or keeps her on her toes with its twists and turns. She welcomes submissions from debut authors and would be keen to read across a wide range of genres and styles.

She is looking for literary, upmarket and book club fiction, and is always drawn to stories that explores the challenges and complexities of love and relationships in all its forms —within families, between friends or in romantic relationships. Una loves the way in which familial relationships are dissected in The Wren, The Wren by Anne Enright and the impact of the local community in Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson. She is always drawn to novels with a strong sense of community, whether they are unified by geography, culture, or in other unexpected ways.

Una has always loved reading international and translated fiction and welcomes submissions from authors writing contemporary fiction that engages with cultures and traditions from around the world, such as in voices of the deities in Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi or the subversive tales of Sayaka Murata. 

She is not looking for children’s or YA titles, science fiction or high-concept fantasy, but is open to submissions from authors writing in the speculative fiction space, and books with fantastical or otherworldly elements, be that magical realism or supernatural horror, such as Mona Awad's campus novel with a twist, Bunny. Una would also love to read more writing that engages with the natural world and reminds us of the limitations of human understanding.

In non-fiction, Una enjoys books that furthers her understanding of wider societal issues — nature and the environment, culture, and little-known history. Her recent non-fiction favourites are Eve by Cat Bohannon, Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein and Unearthed by Claire Ratinon.

Una would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Una 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 20th August 2025
