I'm aware when sending out a cover letter to have an actual name to send it to and not just address it to the company, or they'll toss it out. Where can I go to find the names of agents, or will they be helpful if I call the agencies and ask?

I'm brand new to all this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This thread should help.
