This can involve various techniques such as repairing structural damage, refinishing surfaces, replacing hardware, and addressing any other issues that may affect the functionality or aesthetics of the piece.</p><p><strong>Q2: How can I determine if a piece of furniture is worth restoring?</strong></p><p>Assessing whether a piece of furniture is worth restoring depends on several factors, including its sentimental value, historical significance, craftsmanship, and the extent of damage. Consider factors such as the age and quality of the piece, its potential resale value, and the cost and effort required for restoration. Ultimately, the decision to restore furniture should align with your personal preferences and goals.</p><p><strong>Q3: What are the basic tools and materials needed for furniture restoration?</strong></p><p>Basic tools for furniture restoration may include screwdrivers, hammers, chisels, sandpaper, wood glue, clamps, brushes, and various finishing materials such as paint, stain, and varnish. Additionally, specialized tools like furniture clamps, upholstery needles, and wood fillers may be necessary depending on the specific restoration tasks involved.</p><p><strong>Q4: Can anyone learn furniture restoration, or do I need prior experience?</strong></p><p>While prior experience in woodworking or furniture repair can be helpful, anyone with an interest in learning can start practicing furniture restoration. There are numerous resources available, including books, online tutorials, workshops, and community classes, that cater to beginners as well as more experienced individuals. Starting with small, simple projects and gradually advancing to more complex ones can help build skills and confidence over time.</p><p><strong>Q5: What are some common challenges encountered during furniture restoration?</strong></p><p>Common challenges in furniture restoration include identifying the type of wood and finish used, matching colors and textures when repairing or refinishing, addressing structural weaknesses without compromising integrity, and sourcing appropriate replacement parts or materials. Patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn from mistakes are key to overcoming these challenges and achieving successful restoration outcomes.</p><div><div><div><h3>

<p id="isPasted" 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;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></strong></p><p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">❓&nbsp;</strong><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">WHAT IS THE &#39;IMPROVE YOUR RIDING IN EIGHT WEEKS&#39; COURSE:</strong> My original two-day &#39;Survival: SKILLS&#39; course focuses on all aspects of riding. It was introduced in 1997 when I launched my advanced rider training school in response to an increasing demand from recreational riders wanting to improve their riding. For many years it&#39;s been one of my most popular courses.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Offering a mix of theory and practical exercises, it&#39;s designed to equip you with a toolkit of essential cornering skills backed by a framework of knowledge ready for riding twisty roads.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">With a focus on identifying hazards and managing the risks of riding, rather than simply developing the technical skills to &#39;make progress&#39;, it has been a huge hit with riders from all levels from newly-qualified to highly-experienced, including many with advanced training from other sources. I&#39;ve even had police riders on the course.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Like all my other Survival Skills training, the course has been carefully researched and developed to offer a unique blend of ideas and concepts. I&#39;ve taken traditional defensive riding principles, added the very best of thinking from overseas training and coaching programmes, brought in new ideas from sports psychology and research into rider training, and blended that all with my own extensive riding experience.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Just a few of the sources I have worked into my training include (but not limited to) &#39;Motorcycle Roadcraft - the police rider&#39;s manual&#39;, Keith Code&#39;s &#39;Twist of the Wrist&#39; books, the work of US experts Pat Hahn and David Hough, and the Australian safety programme &#39;Ride On&#39;.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p style="text-align: center; color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="text-align: center;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">THIS EIGHT WEEK ONLINE COURSE IS BASED <br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">ON MY TWO-DAY &#39;SURVIVAL: SKILLS&#39; COURSE</strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></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;">❓&nbsp;WHAT&#39;S DIFFERENT ABOUT SURVIVAL SKILLS:</strong> When I introduced my Survival Skills course back in 1997, almost all &#39;advanced &#39; training (and there wasn&#39;t much available) was based on the concepts to be found in the police manual &#39;Motorcycle Roadcraft&#39;. The version of that book available then, aside from colour pictures, had barely changed since the &#39;Blue Book&#39; version of Roadcraft of the 1960s first opened up the concepts behind police rider training to the public.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Instead of simply &#39;doing what everyone else does&#39; I went back to first principles to identify just what skills and knowledge were required to ride well on modern roads. I also looked beyond the UK to look at the best ideas from around the world, and to see how motorcycle training is conducted in different countries. That helped me identify the strengths and weakness of Roadcraft. In particular, Roadcraft - just like the DVSA&#39;s basic training - had little to say about cornering, so I looked towards US rider coach Keith Code to help develop my own approach to riding twisty roads, developing a system that remains unique to Survival Skills.&nbsp;</p><p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">I&#39;ve also looked to see how coaching is applied outside rider safety. I&#39;ve investigated sports psychology and introduced well-proven techniques such as &#39;reflective thinking&#39; and &#39;visualisation / imagery&#39; to motorcyclists.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">And the courses haven&#39;t stayed still either. Over the years, they have been constantly updated to match new issues (our potholed roads, for example) and new technology (ABS, riding modes, traction control etc). You can be sure that the Survival Skills approach offers an excellent fit for the real-world problems modern riders face on two wheels in the 21st century.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">❓ DOES E-LEARNING WORK:</strong> Absolutely YES! E-learning is an accepted way of delivering skills in many fields, and has been for quite a few years. Because motorcycling is seen as a hands-on skill, it&#39;s easy to under-estimate just how much of what we learn about riding is theoretical, and fairly obviously any theory content CAN be delivered remotely - I&#39;m sure you&#39;d agree you can read a book or watch a video, and learn from it. What may not be so obvious is that we CAN learn practical skills too so each section of the course has some simple-to-try practical exercises which allow you to go out and directly try out the theory, just like my paperback DIY guide to better riding &#39;Survival SKILL&#39;. And that&#39;s had a lot of positive feedback. &nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p id="isPasted" 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;">❓ WILL I LEARN ANYTHING NEW:&nbsp;</strong>I have no doubt you will. Wherever you sit on the ladder of personal development - including those of you with existing post-test training experience - this course will add to what you already know about riding motorcycles. You&#39;ll see new ways of thinking about riding, new ways of identifying the threats, new ways of dealing with them. And each week there will be an introduction to a new concept you probably haven&#39;t heard of previously. W<span style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); background-color: transparent;">hen it comes to developing riding skills and offering new approaches to rider training, expect to have an experience that&#39;s unique to Survival Skills.&nbsp;</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></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;">❓ SURVIVAL SKILLS AND INSIGHT TRAINING:</strong> In particular, Survival Skills courses have evolved to adopt the ultra-modern educational and coaching concept known as &#39;insight training&#39;. This approach goes beyond encyclopaedic knowledge and mastery of technical skills. Insight seeks to deliver an understanding of the complex workings of the roads <span style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); background-color: transparent;">a<span style="color: rgb(55, 65, 81); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(55, 65, 81);">s a &#39;system&#39;; that is, a set of interconnected and interdependent components that work together to achieve a common goal.

			<h3><strong>Description</strong></h3>
<p>How to write a book in two weeks is about how to write a NON-FICTION book in two weeks and get it published. Its a course meant for all those people out there who have 'an idea' bubbling around in their head, but yet they haven't quite got it down on paper yet, and they're just not sure where and how to start.</p>
<p>This course starts at the very beginning, and it guides you through the process, of how to write a book with various examples of how the lecturer herself has personally achieved this herself. This isn't a theoretical course. This is practical. It is ideal for entrepreneurs, business people, experts, self-employed, those who want to write as a career and those who just want to get one book done.</p>
<p>We look at your ideas, the structure of the book, overcoming challenges, publishing and completion and we also touch on marketing.</p>
<p>Template writing plans, book budget plan and an e-book are included.</p>
<p>The course will take approx 3-4 hours to complete. There's a slideshow presentation with plenty of ideas for you and no doubt if you only have one book idea now, but the time we've finished, you'll have a lot more!</p>
<p>This course is ideal if you've always wanted to write a book, have an idea for a book, know that a book will help you in your career and you just want to get it completed in the quickest, easiest, most pain-free way possible. Book coaches can cost thousands of pounds for their service. This course guides you through the steps and you'll know exactly what you have to do. Do clear time in your schedule to write. Attending this course will not write the book for you! You'll be inspired but you must act on this.</p>
<p>The tutor is happy to discuss book ideas with you and can give you chapter feedback but is unable to read complete books sent in.</p>

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, YA
Lil is an editor with over 15 years experience in the publishing industry. She’s currently freelancing and is in direct contact with many of the big publishing houses: Hachette, Bonnier Books, and book packager, Working Partners Ltd, among others. She also works with the Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency, assessing their authors’ work for commercial viability, as well as scouting for new talent.
For twelve years, Lil was a Senior Commissioning Editor at Working Partners Ltd – the creatives behind massive commercial hits such as Beast Quest, Warriors and the Daisy Meadows series. There she created globally successful concepts for every age group and developed storylines so the books were unputdownable. 
Lil is also an author in her own right: she has written 6 books under her own name, and ghost written many others under various pseudonyms. 
In every age level, Lil would like to see originality - particularly in voice. A strong character with depth, venturing on a quest that's never been undertaken before will get her excited. The 'quest' doesn't have to be epic in scale, it could be as small as petting the next-door neighbour's dog, or getting the good looking new kid to notice you, it just has to be something a reader will want to invest in. She also loves humour and is happy to see anything quirky (perhaps even downright silly!). 
For picture books, Lil would like you to submit a covering letter, and 1 complete manuscript, double-spaced, with spreads marked out, in a single word or PDF doc. For chapter books, MG and YA, please send a covering letter, the first three chapters and a synopsis, double spaced, in a single Word or PDF doc.

With this software we explore the uses of words, shapes, textures, forms, sizes and colours to communicate by combining ideas and images to make a new concept. Graphic design through common misconception is not just about layout and typography, but much more about ideas behind visual meaning. Graphic design can make a company more successful in the world if it makes communication smart, attractive and able to captivate its audience. Graphic design can effectively be used by businesses to make (or break) their brand identity, increase sales, promote web traffic or promote services and products through advertising on their websites to convey complex data to its readers in a clear way.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Elements of graphic design include:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form</strong>. It is important that each element is understood correctly, and this is one of the key principles we teach on our graphic design course. In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages through visuals. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as pages of web design.

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.

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

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION, MG/YA inc GRAPHIC NOVELS
Gyamfia Osei has joined Andrew Nurnberg Associates Ltd and is looking for writers of Children's and YA, commercial adult fiction and narrative non-fiction.  
Gyamfia began her career in publishing working as a Bookseller at Waterstones, before joining Caskie Mushens as a literary assistant in 2018. She relocated to Amsterdam for two years, where she managed international sales for The Pepin Press and held the role of Editor for Plural Magazine, before returning to London in 2021 to start building her own list of authors at The Good Literary Agency. Gyamfia is now an agent at Andrew Nurnberg Associates, representing a diverse list of clients writing children’s books and a bespoke adult list focusing on commercial fiction and narrative non-fiction.
Gyamfia is currently looking for contemporary children’s stories that are full of heart and joy-driven books that celebrate kids from underrepresented backgrounds (think Clare Weze, Kimberly Whittam and Elle McNicoll). Unique picture books, funny middle-grade and teen projects (think Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Glow Up Lara Bloom) are currently at the top of her list this year. She is very interested in finding a graphic novel or illustrated project for either MG or YA readers. 
She is very open when it comes to Children’s non-fiction but would be particularly interested to consider unique cookbooks aimed at young chefs, books exploring mental health/wellness and projects that bring the experiences of marginalised children to the forefront.
In the adult fiction space, Gyamfia enjoys well-plotted, fast-paced narratives with authentic characters who lodge themselves in her mind long after she’s finished reading (think Big Little Lies, Verity and Girl A). She’s open to a broad range of genres, but would be particularly keen to see cosy crime, global stories and tightly plotted domestic noir. 
In the adult non-fiction space, she would be happy to consider commercial narrative non-fiction and cultural history projects (think Brit(ish), It’s Not That Radical and Everything I Know About Love).
Gyamfia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the opening three chapters (max 5,000 words). For picture books please send two texts and a covering letter. For non-fiction please supply a cover letter and proposal with up to 5,000 words of your sample text.

18th October Gyamfia Osei #Agent121. Looking for: PICTURE BOOKS, MG, YA, CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, YA
Lil is an editor with over 15 years experience in the publishing industry. She’s currently freelancing and is in direct contact with many of the big publishing houses: Hachette, Bonnier Books, and book packager, Working Partners Ltd, among others. She also works with the Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency, assessing their authors’ work for commercial viability, as well as scouting for new talent.
For twelve years, Lil was a Senior Commissioning Editor at Working Partners Ltd – the creatives behind massive commercial hits such as Beast Quest, Warriors and the Daisy Meadows series. There she created globally successful concepts for every age group and developed storylines so the books were unputdownable. 
Lil is also an author in her own right: she has written 6 books under her own name, and ghost written many others under various pseudonyms. 
In every age level, Lil would like to see originality - particularly in voice. A strong character with depth, venturing on a quest that's never been undertaken before will get her excited. The 'quest' doesn't have to be epic in scale, it could be as small as petting the next-door neighbour's dog, or getting the good looking new kid to notice you, it just has to be something a reader will want to invest in. She also loves humour and is happy to see anything quirky (perhaps even downright silly!). 
For picture books, Lil would like you to submit a covering letter, and 1 complete manuscript, double-spaced, with spreads marked out, in a single word or PDF doc. For chapter books, MG and YA, please send a covering letter, the first three chapters and a synopsis, double spaced, in a single Word or PDF doc.
By booking this session you agree to email your material to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline to agent121@iaminprint.co.uk. Please note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice given in your Agent121.
The submission deadline is: Wednesday 23 October 2024
