How I Found the Agency
Given that at the time I was seeking representation I was based in Australia, this gave me pause in approaching a number of literary agents who it appeared were not prepared to take on overseas clients. This was not the case with Andrew, who was already representing a number of my countrymen. Also Andrew, unlike many of his colleagues, had a well-developed website, which enabled me to gauge his ability to represent me based on his track record with similar books in the genre. Finally, Andrew, again unlike many of his colleagues, was prepared to accept submissions by email which, for a foreign-based author, greatly cut down the cost and the time delay in the process.
