Literary Agents

I recently spoke to a friend about using a literary agent. The first question to come up was, "Do I need one" and then, "What can they do for me"? There is a lot of material written about this so I won't go into a lot of detail. The answer to the first question is no, you do not absolutely need a litery agent. However having one will open doors for you. Plus, this person will be working full time to advance your career. I think I answered the second question as well. I will be listing agents in this and the next two post to give you a good selection to choose from.
