Casey Watson has been a specialist foster carer for over 20 years. During this time she has welcomed 42 difficult to place children into her home, whilst her own two children have flown the nest and had families of their own. Casey's daughter, Riley, decided she wanted to follow her mum's footsteps and also ventured into fostering, albeit just now and again, and only providing respite care for others. Casey's son, Kieron, has Asperger's Syndrome, but is high functioning. He also underwent training and now works in schools with children who have special educational needs.
Casey has spent the majority f her adult life working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. This includes two years running behavioural units in schools. She combines her busy fostering life with writing, usually late at night when the rest of the household are sleeping.
How I Found the Agency
I came across Andrew’s agency by typing into my computer’s tool bar ‘Top 10 UK literary agents’, Fortunately for me, the first name I saw was Andrew Lownie. After viewing his web site, and realising that his agency was right for my project, he was the only agent I submitted to. I am so pleased I did this. Andrew’s patience and support has been second to none, and he has given me the confidence to continue to write.
