Hi Sara,

Congratulations on finishing your novel! That's an accomplishment in itself.

If you are looking for a literary agent, the first thing to do is research! Researching agents also helps you think about your own book. For example, what genre is your book? This will then help you to narrow your agent search and make more targeted approaches.

Most agents are approached via email. You will need to send the first three chapters/first 10,000 words of your novel, along with a synopsis and a covering letter. We have plenty of free advice on our website about submitting to literary agents, while W&A team member James has also written a book all about how to hook an agent: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/writers--artists-guide-to-how-to-hook-an-…

You can also check out our Listings Subscription and newly added Agent Pages - a digital directory for literary agents with the ability to personalise and refine your search. Here's the link to a page with more information: https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/literary-agencies-info

Hope that's all useful and wishing you the best of luck with it!
