Have you recently written a book and are now anxious to get it printed? Have you already contacted publishers by yourself and have failed to get a deal? Well finding a literary agent may be your solution.

A literary agent increases your chances of getting your book published, especially when the agent has the right amount of experience and a large volume of contacts.

The large number of publishing houses only deal with agents, and a lot will not consider a book that's not submitted by a literary agent. You have to realize that most publishing houses deal with an overwhelming number of submissions, so getting a literary agent maybe the easiest way to get your "book in the door".

The internet is another great way to help you find a suitable literary agent. Just go to a search engine like Yahoo and type in 'literary agent' and you will be flooded with information in a matter of seconds.
