This may not be an exact answer to your question, but:

Don't forget that you don't always need an agent (in fact, depending on the agent and your situation, it can be a lot worse than having no agent).

You need to read a bit about what exactly an agent can do for you and decide what kind of agent you want to hire.

Also be aware that some "agents" advertising on line are 100% scam ("hey, I can make you a star, pay me an up-front fee!" then nothing).

There is a lot of good info out there from very experienced authors, especially two articles by Dean Wesley Smith:
