The Writers Net      

bills itself as an Internet Resource for Writers, Editors, Publishers and Agents, and among other things it maintains a list of Literary Agents who do NOT charge a fee.

 

 International Literary Representation & Management

offers advice from literary agents about submission guidelines and a host of practical information for writers and authors about getting their manuscripts published.

RT Founder Kathryn Falk's HOW TO WRITE A ROMANCE FOR THE NEW MARKET AND GET PUBLISHED, including an updated list of agents!
A Useful Tip
Before contacting any agents on this list, you might want to refer to the latest edition of the LITERARY MARKET PLACE or the WRITER'S DIGEST GUIDE TO LITERARY AGENTS for agents' specific submission guidelines and marketing areas. By doing this, you'll be sure to send the right material to the right agent in the best format. One other note: Always provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) with all queries and submissions.
