How I Found the Agency

I discovered Andrew by going through the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook. Andrew was the most responsive of the agents I contacted and even took the trouble to call me back at 9.00 o’clock at night in response to a voicemail I had left. This counts very highly with writers.

I confess I was attracted to someone who had represented such luminaries as Sir John Mills, Norma Major and John Le Carré.

My sincere thanks go to Andrew for his support, his patience, and his advice. I would not have been published without his commitment.
