Should a literary agent be in the same city and state as you?

I just finished my first novel (romance) and recieved my first rejection letter. I've always wanted to be a novelist, so Im not ready to give up, but I'm thinking I need an agent. I'm researching them online and I don't see any from the town I live in. So my question is this: should a literary agent be close enough to you to go visit and such? Does it have to be?

In this day and age of the Internet, it is probably not important that you have a daily face-to-face relationship with your agent. I think it's more important that your agent be the one with close working relationships with the publishing industry.

If I were you, I'd see if I could find a good, reputable agent to work with. Find someone you feel you can trust and see how that goes. Do your research and compares different services, levels of experience, etc. That way you'll be able to make a better informed decision.

Good luck with your writing.
