The first place I turned to

Peter James

What is your best investment? Buying a copy of the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook [...] within 24 hours of sending off the first couple of chapters with a cover letter, an agent called wanting to see the rest of the book.

Kimberley Chambers, The Sunday Times

My final nugget of advice [is] go and get yourself the most recent version of the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook. It is such a valuable resource and you'll find the answers to all your questions about who you should be speaking with, how to contact them and what to say when you do, within those glorious covers.
