Did you think to look here for an agent? Hmm?

Several writers I know are querying agents right now, going to agency websites to see who might be a good fit. A good place to find the kinds of books agents have taken on and sold is on the Publishers Weekly various newsletters.

For instance, if you're looking for an agent for YA or children's books, Publishers Weekly Children's Bookshelf newsletter always has a list of deals made that week. It will have a description of the book, the age group, the publisher who bought it, the author and the agent and agency that sold it.
So, you'll see that Susie Kittynose sold a book to Kittypaw Press and was represented by KitKat Jones of the BigHunkofKittyLove Agency.

There you have what you need to know. The agent and agency and what kind of book they just sold. Publishers Weekly shows the week's deals in all their newsletters, not just children's bookshelf.

The newsletters are all free. For inspiration, look here:
