Gini Graham Scott has written a number of articles on how to effectively find an agent or publisher and promote a book once published.   Some of these articles are included in the book: SELL YOUR BOOK, SCRIPT, OR COLUMN, which is available through AMAZON or in a PDF format. 

The following articles are available for you to download and pass around, as long as you include the bio information at the end. 

• Should You Get an Agent or Pitch Your Book Yourself?
• How to Get a Good Agent
• How to Pitch Your Book to Editors and Publishers
• How to Get Your Column or Article Syndicated

Then, when you are ready to sell your book, script, or column, a good source that can send out a query letter for you is Publishers and Agents for books and columns (www.publishersandagents.com) and the Film Connection for scripts, treatments, and film rights for novels and nonfiction books (www.filmconnection.biz).  Gini used to own this company and helped connect writers to the publishing and film industries for nearly six years, before selling it in October 2008. Now she assists the new owners with writing, marketing, and promotion.
