how I found the agency
"Through a friend of a friend, I heard about Andrew’s Biographers’ Club. I went to a few enjoyable meetings and discovered that Andrew was behind the Best Proposal competition which I had entered for previously. I put some biographical projects to Andrew, which he liked — and he then set me the task of filling his demanding Proposal Requirements. I grumbled a bit to myself, but they did add shape and focus to the what I eventually produced. Since then he has been patient and made several very creative suggestions."
