His interests include playing live rock music, the culture, food, and history of the Mediterranean and Middle East, Bollywood films, and world religions. He lives in north London with his wife and two children.
How I Found the Agency
I found the Andrew Lownie Literary Agency’s website on the internet, and was quickly struck by two compelling features: the treasury of free advice, and the statement that the agency is always looking for new authors. Andrew's swift response to my first e-mail immediately demonstrated how proactive and engaged Andrew is in helping authors. I have been delighted with the whole process.
