There’s a great little site that I use for searching for an agent and it’s called LITMATCH.com – however it’s been relaunched and revamped and is now called Author Advance. It’s got a more social aspect to it, and a blogging facility and even better, a cross posting facility to Livejournal which makes a nice change!! Do check it out if – like me – you are mired in the bog of Agent Hunting. And friend me! My name’s the same there, surprise, surprise. If I have a whine about it ITS THE LIGHT GREY FONT.
