LOOKING FOR: PB, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, GRAPHIC NOVELS, CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION Millie van Grutten joined Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency in 2021 and as of early 2024 Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency was acquired by Rogers Coleridge & White. Millie is thrilled to be building the children’s illustrated division at RCW and is actively looking for authors and illustrators of picture books, chapter books, young fiction, graphic novels and is particularly interested in children’s non-fiction presented in any guise. Millie loves working collaboratively with authors and illustrators whether it’s brainstorming a title, building a portfolio, trying out new genres and age groups or simply chatting ideas through. She relishes the opportunity to champion the work of illustrators and authors alike and is open to anything from 0-9 whether texts, illustrations or both. She loves anything with strong and engaging characters at its heart, quirky stories, and books that make you laugh and/or books that can make you laugh while you learn… Apart from the ever enduring and absolute classics like Quentin Blake’s Mrs Armitage, Millie has recently enjoyed Mariajo Ilustrajo’s Lost, Ed Vere’s The Artist, The Secret Beast Club (Robin Birch and Jobe Anderson), Dave Pigeon (Swapna Haddow and Sheena Dempsey), How to Be A Genius Kid (Jim Smith) and anything by Lauren Child. Among many other talents, Millie represents Swapna Haddow, Zehra Hicks, Sandra Dieckmann, Jobe Anderson, Marilyn Esther Chi, Emma Clarke, Jim Smith, Gabriella Szendrey, Helen and Thomas Docherty.

A day retreat with Emma and Christine in Guernsey When: Saturday 7th September 10am - 5pm Price: £88 for the whole day, everything included. Where: Holding Space, Les Bergers, St Andrew’s Road. Guernsey ABOUT THE DAY Join us for this full day retreat honouring the earth and all the elements of life, through Qigong, Breathwork, Yoga Nidra and weaving the magic of walking the lemniscate. Not forgetting a delicious organic lunch, drinks and snacks, all in a beautiful location. In the morning, we will explore what it is to belong in our bodies, to connect with all the elements of life as they move through us. Using the powerful yet gentle practice of Qigong to open our energy, creating space for the full expression of our life force. We will be working with movements inspired by the infinity symbol, also known as the "lemniscate" which have been used by healers for centuries to promote balance, and harmony. Connecting us to the infinite potential and interconnectedness of all things. Christine will guide us to walk the 8 (lemniscate) and then move seamlessly into a deeply healing yoga nidra practice bringing the 8 into our bodies for total relaxation and integration. After a delicious organic lunch we will lie down and relax into the support of the earth to receive a deep healing breathwork session. We will use conscious connected breathing to encourage detoxification of your body, releasing stuck energy and beliefs and resetting your whole nervous system. Giving you the tools to transform and to let go of whatever may be holding you back from living the life you truly want to live. A unique and beautiful day for soul nourishment, deepening into your true self and connection with all of life. If you are interested but have more questions please contact us. We would love to hear from you. Join us for a day of magic
