Go online and there's a ton of info about how to find an agent looking for authors in whatever genre your novel fits. There is also a lot of info about how to write a query letter to an agent. I am in the process of writing a query letter for my first novel. I can tell you it is harder than writing the book was.

Congrats on getting your book finished. that's an accomplishment. What's your story about? My novel is a science fiction/murder mystery mix.I was so thankful when I got the last paragraph done. Writing has proven the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I hope you enjoyed it as much.

Let me know how things go!
