how I found the agency
"I first came across the agency on www.writersservices.com whilst seeking representation for my first book. I made a list of around 15 suitable agencies to approach, then went about researching each one online, checking out their authors' output and visiting writers' forums for recommendations, and one name rose above the rest: Andrew Lownie. I immediately contacted Andrew through his website and haven't regretted the move since. His advice when working on the final draft of my proposal was indispensable and his enthusiasm always reassuring, in a way which makes me very excited about my career as a writer."subscribe to agency's newsletter
