There's a book, I think the name is Writer's Market that has publishers and agents listed along with the genre they want. There are lists of agents online that you can check.

There's a list called, Preditors and editors that warns about agents--definitely check that before signing with anyone. See below:

Also stay clear of any agent who charges a reading fee!!!

Another helpful way to find an agent is to belong to writing groups of people who write the same genre you write. Then you can ask questions or you'll hear of agents people are happy with. The library should have books with agent listings.

Also search google for Literary agents, and you should find some information there.

Good luck!
