How I Found the Agency

I first came across the Andrew Lownie Literary Agency while reading Sean Longden’s T-Force: The Race for Nazi War Secrets 1945 during my PhD. A bit more research into the agency made it clear that this would be an ideal place to pitch my own work and, moreover, that new authors were very welcome. Andrew immediately took an active interest in my work and made himself available from the start.
