Toni, do you have Jeff Herman's book, Writer's Guide To Book Editors, Publishers and Agents?

I highly recommend this book. Read it (it's huge) and hi-lite all the ones that accept your kind of writing.

Also, go to the library and read through the acknowledgments section of books that are as close to your's as possible. Authors typically thank editors and agents in this section especially if they are good. Jot down the names and then research them in Herman's book and online. Just do a Google search by name and you'll be amazed by all the information you can find.

ANother way is to do a google search similar to this:

agents self-help
or whatever category your book be on the book shelf at the store.

Hope this helps. Please tell me the genre and I'll look through the list of agents I queried to see if I have anything for you.

Do you have the April issue of Writer's Digest? If not, hit the library and check out the article about 25 agents seeking new talent. That might be a good place to start.
