There's a book (similar to Writer's Market) just for Canadian agents. I'm guessing a Canadian agent would be your best bet. No idea what it's called but I've seen it at Chapters.

You'd still have to research the agents you find in it but it might be a good starting point.

Anne McDermid is my cousin's agent.
I had an odd experience with the Heller agency --- not Helen but Sarah, her daughter I think.

Cool! A.lison Pick.

My Heller experience was summer 2007 so I guess that's a few years ago too!

Willie's list is great. I'd definitely start with McDermid. She certainly sends fast rejections.

Thanks for starting my day with a couple of laughs.
