how I found the agency
"I was scouting around for an agent last year, and Andrew's name was mentioned to me by several authors. I sent him an email with a proposal and a writing sample, expecting to hear back in a few weeks, if at all. Within a few hours, Andrew had written back with detailed comments on my writing, and an offer to become my agent. I met him a month later at his London office, and was deeply impressed by his enthusiasm and commitment. For a young author working on his first post-thesis book, his support and advice have been invaluable."subscribe to agency's newsletter
