About Andrew
Andrew is a director of David Higham Associates and head of its Books department. He joined the agency in 2007. Before becoming an agent, he spent fifteen years on the publishing side, working in publicity at Hodder & Stoughton and as an editor and publisher at Little, Brown and Simon & Schuster. He is also a member of the Advisory Committee of the Cundill History Prize. Clients listed on his agent page include Bernard Cornwell, Ed Miliband and Alexander McCall Smith.
What Andrew is looking for
Andrew's list is mainly non-fiction, including historians, journalists and commentators. He likes books that say something new about how the world works, and welcomes approaches from experts who want to reach a wider audience. He is interested in history, current affairs, politics and economics, biography and memoir, and narrative and literary non-fiction that blurs genre boundaries. He is probably not the right agent for projects likely to sit in the mind, body and spirit section of bookshops.
Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), Andrew was not accepting new fiction submissions and would not respond to novels sent to him. His email address is listed on his agent page on the agency's website. Writers should approach one agent at the agency directly and not submit to several. The agency does not consider work written with generative AI tools.
