Encouragement

My biographies have received a great deal of critical acclaim, from my first full-length work on A.E. Housman (Routledge 1979) through to the third volume of my trilogy on my late uncle Robert Graves. (Weidenfeld 1995). You know that, with me, you are in safe hands.

If you are a Publisher or a Literary Executor or a Literary Agent or even a private individual looking for a reputable biographer, whose aim is to tell the whole truth but to tell it sympathetically, then please contact me.

However, you will need to convince me that the subject of your choice (who may of course be yourself) is famous enough for the prospect of a biography to attract the attention of Publishers on both sides of the Atlantic, and an advance amounting to at least 20,000 pounds sterling per annum plus expenses for each year needed to complete the project.
