She won the RNA Literary Agent of the Year award in 2018.&nbsp;</p><p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">She represents commercial and reading group fiction, as well as a range of narrative non-fiction and memoir. She loves working with authors, championing them every step of the way, and works with them and their publishing teams to build them into brand names and award winning and bestselling authors in the UK and internationally. Whether commercial or reading-group, she loves innovative and well-written stories that hook her in from the start and whose voice stays with her.

Louise is especially interested in novels that represent working-class people or children going through difficult circumstances (think <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Shuggie Bain</em> by Douglas Stuart, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">My Name is Leon</em> by Kit de Waal or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Boys Don&rsquo;t Cry</em> by F&Iacute;ona Scarlett).</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Irish literary and book club fiction</strong>. Think Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy or Anne Griffin.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">commercial fiction</strong> she loves novels set during the Second World War, such as <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Nightingale</em> by Kristin Hannah, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Beekeeper of Aleppo</em> by Christi Lefteri or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Midwife of Auschwitz</em> by Anna Stuart. Louise recently read and loved <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Last List of Mabel Beaumont</em> by Laura Pearson and would love to see anything in the same &lsquo;older person going on a journey&rsquo; category, a more recent <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Louise had a lot of fun publishing a &lsquo;pet fiction&rsquo; novel as an editor (<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Molly and the Cat&nbsp;Caf&eacute;</em>) and would love to find an author who can write an <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Alfie the Doorstep Cat/Dog</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">She has a soft spot for novels featuring <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">time-travel or parallel universes</strong>, a &lsquo;what if&rsquo; that plays around with conventions. At the literary end this would be books like <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Life After Life</em> by Kate Atkinson, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Shining Girls</em> by Lauren Beukes or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">This is How You Lose the Time War</em> by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At the more commercial end Louise loved <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wrong Place, Wrong Time</em> by Gillian McAllister, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dark Matter</em> by Blake Crouch and <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Oona Out of Order</em> by Martina Montimore. She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rivers of London</em> by Ben Aaronovitch, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Threadneedle</em> by Cari Thomas, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Discovery of Witches</em> by Deborah Harkness or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Gifts</em> by Liz Hyder. And also cosy fantasy in the vein of <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Legends and Lattes</em> or<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;The House in the Cerulean Sea</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Cosy or humorous crime</strong>. Recently, Louise absolutely loved <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Over My Dead Body</em> by Maz Evans. When she was an editor Louise published the hit <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Luckiest Girl Alive</em> by Jessica Knoll and would love to represent incisive, intelligent suspense written by authors such as Jessica Knoll and Gillian Flynn, or something a little more subversive and blackly comic like <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">My Sister, the Serial Killer</em> by Oyinkan Braithwaite.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">More generally, Louise would also love to see novels with a disabled protagonist or someone (like myself) who is living with an invisible disability.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION
Louise Buckley  has worked in publishing for well over a decade. She was inspired to enter the publishing industry after completing an MA in Creative Writing and then spent a hugely enjoyable year working as a bookseller for Waterstones, wishing that she could have a hand in publishing books.
After a year working at Dorling Kindersley, she then spent almost five years working in the commercial fiction division at Pan Macmillan, where she published a mix of commercial bestsellers and award-winning authors.
Most recently, she was an Associate Literary Agent at Zeno Agency Ltd. As an agent she represented a roster of commercial and literary fiction, including Anne Griffin’s When All is Said, which spent five weeks at number one in Ireland and sold into 17 territories.
She is delighted to be working with Hannah at Hannah Sheppard Literary Agency.
Louise is looking for:-
Literary and upmarket fiction that focusses on the underdog, the repressed, the suppressed. Louise is especially interested in novels that represent working-class people or children going through difficult circumstances (think Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal or Boys Don’t Cry by FÍona Scarlett).
Irish literary and book club fiction. Think Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy or Anne Griffin.
In commercial fiction she loves novels set during the Second World War, such as The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christi Lefteri or The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart. Louise recently read and loved The Last List of Mabel Beaumont by Laura Pearson and would love to see anything in the same ‘older person going on a journey’ category, a more recent The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Louise had a lot of fun publishing a ‘pet fiction’ novel as an editor (Molly and the Cat Café) and would love to find an author who can write an Alfie the Doorstep Cat/Dog.
She has a soft spot for novels featuring time-travel or parallel universes, a ‘what if’ that plays around with conventions. At the literary end this would be books like Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes or This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. At the more commercial end Louise loved Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Oona Out of Order by Martina Montimore. She also enjoys novels set in the real world but featuring a hefty dose of magic or the supernatural. They can be commercial or literary, present-day or historical. Think Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, Threadneedle by Cari Thomas, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness or The Gifts by Liz Hyder. And also cosy fantasy in the vein of Legends and Lattes or The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Cosy or humorous crime. Recently, Louise absolutely loved Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans. When she was an editor Louise published the hit Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll and would love to represent incisive, intelligent suspense written by authors such as Jessica Knoll and Gillian Flynn, or something a little more subversive and blackly comic like My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.
More generally, Louise would also love to see novels with a disabled protagonist or someone (like myself) who is living with an invisible disability. As an ex-primary school teacher, she also warmly welcomes submissions from teachers, especially if the submission falls into one of the other categories she has listed. Following-on from this, she enjoys reading stories that follow a ‘beating the system’ narrative.
Louise is NOT looking for:
-romance
-romantasy
-epic, traditional fantasy
-space opera
-straightforward women’s fiction
-children’s fiction of any kind
-non-fiction
Louise 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, Louise 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 27 September 2024

Programme Overview
Create individual success with a situational approach to leadership.
With business moving at a blistering pace, there’s more pressure than ever for leaders to be effective at managing successful teams. But often, they don’t have the skills to be the agile, adaptive leaders they need to be, and they struggle to build meaningful connections and achieve results.

It’s not for lack of effort or interest. Research has shown that most leaders are limited to a single leadership style—so they don’t know how to unleash the potential of their people as their needs shift.
Leaders need to learn how to lead situationally. Blanchard’s SLII® empowers leaders to become adaptive—a requirement for our uncertain times. Backed by 40 years of research and an unmatched track record of results, The SLII Experience™ teaches your leaders how to lead situationally by giving their people the right support and direction at the right time.
SLII enables leaders to build deeper relationships with their people, making every day more inspiring, motivating, and meaningful.
