      <![CDATA[<p><i>Dear Barbara,<br />
I am a published author of short stories and poems. How likely is it that I will be able to find a new publishing house online? I am looking for a "real" publishing house, not some internet house on the verge of collapse. Any ideas?<br />

<p>Dear Brian,</p>

<p>The publishing biz still works the way it always has.  You need to send a written (i.e. snail mail) query letter.  Or better yet, get an agent.</p>

<p>To learn more about literary agents and why writers need them, try this:<br />
