The best source for finding an agent is called Literary Agents of North America. It's a complete list of agents, not only by name and address, but by type of book they represent and by what their submission criteria are.
From Sara Paretsky
I'm very honoured that there is a loyal following and I hope it continues.
Capo, my first golden retriever, so loved to swim she once jumped off a cliff to get into Lake Superior.
I always wrote; my first story was published in the magazine The American Girl when I was 11.
I realised I'd never climb Everest but thought I could still write a book.
It took me nine months to write 60 pages. It was very frustrating.
My parents were liberal intellectuals but even they expected me to stay at home and look after my younger siblings and do the housework.
No agent wants to see a book until he or she has decided whether to pursue the relationship.
I'm lucky in having found the perfect partner to spend my life with.
Reviewers said Ghost Country was rich, astonishing and affecting in the way it blended comedy, magic, and a gritty urban realism in a breathtaking ride along Chicago's mean streets.
