How I Found the Agency

I found Andrew via an agent with whom my partner and I had optioned a book for film. She recommended I write to Andrew. Having looked through the list of successful and accomplished authors on Andrew’s website, I thought she might have been teasing me. However, having always been of the opinion that if you don’t ask, you don’t get, I sent the manuscript to Andrew. I was genuinely shocked when he said he liked it and agreed to represent it.
