Literary agents won't help you find work as a proofreader. What you want is the LMP (Literary Marketplace), available in the reference section of your library. Find the name and address of the managing editor of the house you're interested in and write or call.
You will need to know the Chicago Manual of Style perfectly. Usually you need demonstrated experience, but some larger house will have a test you can take, and a high score might get you in the door.

Go to your local library and ask for a book of Literary Agents and it should be about 4 to 6 inches thick. You can also try The Random House Publishers web site or The Bantam Books web site.

Reading the reserve instead of seeing the movie is the ultimate way to see what the writer supposed. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can make your vocabulary
