Agents for children's fiction

Hi!
Just wondering if anyone has found an agent who may give feedback, even if they do not want to rep you?
Thanks

I'm not sure, sorry. I used to return manuscripts with a standard reply almost always as time so short and my only suggestion is to make sure you're choosing agents well to make sure they deal with picture books/ specific age group/ whatever you're sending in. The Writers Yearbook is helpful here I think.

Also maybe get feedback from a friend if helps? Hope you get more advice and hope it goes well

I find that some give feedback if they think your work is good, but most don't have time. The only way to get decent feedback is to join a critique group, pay a consultancy like Cornerstones or do a 1-2-1 with an agent at one of the writing festivals.

Oh, and there is a Writers' & Artists' Yearbook specifically for children's writers.
