Since 1991, the Association of Author’s Representatives (AAR) has served to define professional ethics & standards for its members, primarily agents. Its website features a long list of services & sounding boards for agents & provides a fairly comprehensive list of nearly 500 agents & agencies, complete with contact information (e-mail & postal addresses) & descriptions of what each agent is particularly interested in.

The site also allows users to search its agent/agency database by name, location, & literary genre. Though AAR functions primarily for the service of agents, it can also benefit writers by making the search for an agent a little less boundless & a lot more realistic.

If you’re a writer seeking the right agent or an aspiring agent looking to get into the business, this site might be just what you need. Visit the Association of Author’s Representatives at http://aaronline.org/Find.
