Ask HN: Authors, how did you find your literary agent?
I&#x27;ve got a crackerjack idea for a book (doesn&#x27;t everyone?) and have succeeded in securing a decent amount of press coverage for my tentative self-publish by date.<p>Of course the goal is to eventually win the attentions of a literary agent and find a publishing agency to take the project further.<p>Does anyone have advice&#x2F;stories from their own experience, going through an agent and publisher? How did you make the contact? What was your approach? Or was it just a matter of don&#x27;t-call-us-we&#x27;ll-call-you, star-is-born type discovery?
