Search for a Food & Drink Agent

by Elisabetta Iudica
21st April 2024

Hello All

I am an illustrator specialising in Food & Drink. I have worked on commissioned pieces for private and business clients and recently my illustrations have been commissioned and published by a well known publisher for a celebrity chef cookbook which has reached the US and other countries. 
I am looking for a reputable agent to assist me in taking the next steps to approach other publishers. 
Also, I would like some advise with regards to writing a cover letter to agents. 
Thank you in advance. 
Eli
