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.

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.

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.

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.
