Looking for a Literary Agent

[Nora Favorov]

Not an agent, but another option to explore is Glagoslav Publications,
a young European press focused on literary works translated from
Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian into English.

Thus: A Public Space, Missouri Review, Kenyon Review, Ploughshares, and many others. Take a look at a recent issue of Poets and Writers to see some of these.

The annual AWP convention now rivals the MLA in terms of number of attendees (this year in Chicago, next month, with 9,300 members attending at last count). If you're near there and can visit the book fair, it's an eye-opening experience. And a book called The Writers Market, put out yearly, with a pretty good list of all sorts of magazines and presses and what they're interested in, as well as tips on query letters and such.
