i am in the process of finishing my third book...my first one i didnt know how to publish and i got in huge mess. the second one i just finished and the third one i am still working on. i need to know where i can find a "literary agent" (whatever that is) and get my book out...i am obviously a child author...|||There are several websites out there that will help you find an agent, my favorite is QueryTracker.net at http://www.querytracker.net/ . It is free and has a list of literary agents and also tools to help you keep track of who you already queried and who you haven't, plus more.

They do a good job of keeping the crooks off their lists, but it is still a good idea to double check at http://www.sfwa.org/beware/twentyworst.h鈥?/a>
There are a lot of crooks out there. Never pay anyone to read or publish your book. A real agent will never ask for money except as a percentage of your royalties.

Keep in mind that finding an agent and getting published is not an easy process. Some people have to query hundreds of agents before they find one who will accept them (sadly, some never get accepted), but be persistent and keep trying.

You should also visit http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums one of the largest forums for writers. They can be very helpful.

Good luck.|||There is a new site that you can find liteary agents on - it's got mostly sci-fi and young adult agents at the moment (about 130) of them. www.findaliteraryagent.net
