Forty years ago Andrea Brown began the Andrea Brown Literary Agency and I became one of her first authors. I had already published a few books, but I knew that if I had an agent, I would be better able to negotiate my book contracts. It was one of the best writing decisions I ever made and the beginning of a fruitful relationship.Since then Andrea's business has expanded to include a whole host of other agents and I have gone on to publish more than one hundred books. I couldn't have done it without her. Thank you Andrea Brown for 40 super successful years!
