how I found the agency
"The estimable Andrew Lownie was first brought to my attention by a TV production company executive who was keen on making a programme about a short treatment I had written on the "Real Story' behind the Hollywood blockbuster film and Booker Prize-winning novel, The English Patient. (I had only written the treatment after a conversation over a few glasses of wine in the kitchen of a friend who requested ideas for a Channel 4 history documentary series). The TV executive then mentioned my treatment to Andrew, and we made contact with each other. The rest, as they say, is history! Over a thoroughly enjoyable lunch Andrew suggested I turn the "Real Story of The English Patient' into a book, which I did. Two years later it appeared as The Hunt for Zerzura."subscribe to agency's newsletter
