querying literary agents [& publishers]

You've written a book & hope to have it published the traditional way. In other words, you don't want to pay to have it published. So how do you approach literary agents, who will approach traditional publishers for you?

Good article here on sending queries to agents. (Much the same can be said for querying traditional publishers on your own. Some publishers don't need to be approached through an agent.) https://tinyurl.com/y5cjufzu
