A literary Agent would look at your work and decide to take you on as a client. Then try to sell your stuff and only get paid if he/she did sell it. Am I correct and if so, where do I find one.

Most literary agents will sign an exclusive contract with you and then do nothing unless a publisher ask for something in the area of your work. Otherwise your work will just sit. Most agents only handle one author. You may try to groom an agent or become one yourself, like a lot of authors have done (Ref. Bear Publishing, for one). Grooming works better for publishers, they don't like to work with authors because they are to emotionally involved with their work.

You are right. Just Google literay agent. And do NOT go with anyone who charges to look at your work.
