I'm not sure that having a literary agent is an essential these days. Certainly it is hard for a debut writer to get one. No publisher wants you unless you have an agent: no agent wants you unless you have a publisher. What changes this Catch 22 is if you have something unique about you and/or your writing.
You don't say if you're writing in English or not. Certainly creative writing which deals with unusual experiences may stand a better chance of finding an agent.
If you know of authors writing the sort of thing you write (and if you don't, you should), look online to see who their agents are. Then check in the W & A Yearbook to see what they want from authors seeking representation. Then take it from there.
Like Nick says - good luck!

Hello Eilnaz
I'm sorry to say it's almost impossible to get a literary agent. I can't get one and I'm a produced, professional screenwriter and script consultant. You would need to know the right person or people to make an introduction and even then, unless your work fits their lists and you have a strong track record, it's unlikely they would take you on.
But I wish you all the very best!

Nick Green
