How I Found the Agency
As an author of popular history, I looked for an agent who specializes in this sort of writing. History is a tricky field, with its own laws and requirements. Surprisingly, it is much easier to write proper academic history, and nothing is more difficult than writing or representing history books catered for a larger audience. In my search, I encountered the following interview with Andrew Lownie in Literary Rejections. Upon reading the interview, I came to believe that this agency's line, orientation and interest in history and biography fully match my own. Hence, for my book, the Lownie Agency was a natural choice.
