How I Found the Agency
After researching many agencies online who represent non-fiction and specifically memoirs, the Andrew Lownie Agency website stood out to me. I found the website to be particularly competent, organized, and was impressed with how many successful authors are represented. I was very pleased with the interaction that followed and now I feel most confident that my book and future career is in the best of hands.
