How I Found the Agency
I heard about Andrew Lownie through a positive report in the Writers Market UK Book 2009. I was very impressed with the website and also friends in publishing spoke very highly about his agency and its results. I came away from my first meeting with Andrew Lownie impressed by his range of suggestions for taking my project forward. There is no wait and see policy here - it's a question of how can we get your book out, and to whom, most effectively. He always replies immediately to e-mails. His running of the Biographers' Club has also helped my book greatly and impressed me with his vision for first time authors. So far I could not recommend him more. Other agents I met seemed more laid back by comparison.
