Cathy has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during which time she has looked after more than 50 children, of all ages and backgrounds. Cathy runs training course on fostering for her local social services, and also helps draft new fostering procedures and guidelines.
Cathy has always combined fostering with writing, rising very early every morning in order to write, before the day begins with her ever changing family. Prior to the publication of Damaged, her first fostering memoir, she had written short stories, articles, and poems for various national magazines and newspapers. At present Cathy is working on another full length manuscript, Keeping The Kids Under Control, which is a guide to successfully managing children's behaviour.
how I found the agency
"I have only known Andrew a short time, but how fast things have moved. I found his details on a web site listing agents specialising in non-fiction. He was the second agent I emailed, the first, after initial enthusiasm kept be hanging around without any real decision or commitment. How different Andrew's approach was. From my first tentative contact, to the proposal going out, and an offer from a publisher with a six figure advance, took under two months! Always friendly and approachable, and obviously very highly regarded by publishers. All emails are answered immediately, and while he often doesn't have time for a salutation, 'best' has become as much his handle as descriptive of the agency."external link
