Have you considered contacting a literary agent to help you publish your masterpiece? A literary agent can help you achieve what you have failed to achieve by yourself.

A literary agent increases your chances of getting your book published, especially when the agent has the right amount of experience and a large volume of contacts.

A number of publishing agents will not consider your works unless it is submitted by a literary agent. Publishing houses receive submission after submission every day so you need a literary agent to get the start that you need.

But where do you find a literary agent?

There a large number of resources that can help you find a literary agent.

One such tool that you will find useful to find a great literary agent is via a literary agent guide. Literary Marketplace is one such guide and it can be found in most bookshops and libraries.

However there are other alternatives such as the Guide to Literary Agents and the Writer's Market guide. These guides contain contact and other details about literary agents as well as handy hints.

The internet is another great way to help you find a suitable literary agent. Just go to a search engine like Yahoo and type in 'literary agent' and you will be flooded with information in a matter of seconds.

How do you know if the literary agent is right for you?

Other issues that you should consider include: the agent's fees and charges, their level of success, book publishing contacts and most importantly what others say about the agent.

Now go get a literary agent and get your masterpiece published.
