Every writer dreams of hearing the words I love your book.
When looking for an agent to represent your fledgling novel, it’s key to find someone that shares your vision and passion.
Here is an alphabetical list of 22 literary and genre agents on the hunt for their next bestseller.
Will it be you? You’ll never know till you query.
Literary fiction with noir voices and characters.
Noah Ballard reminds me of Anton Ego, the famous food critic from Ratatouille. Like Anton, Noah is craving some unique perspectives. He aims to support new creative voices with brilliant stories. No cooking skills needed!
Noah acquired his taste for good literature while studying at the University of Nebraska. After finishing his degree, he further cultivated his palate working at Emma Sweeney Literary.
Now he’s happily part of the Curtis Brown literary team where he is waiting to meet hungry authors like you! Learn more about Noah’s tastes in his interview with Water Stone Review.
Literary suspense and historical fiction
Amy is on the hunt for unforgettable stories that history has tucked away. She has a particular interest in books that feature women working in the sports industry.
Originally from Queens, Amy accepted an internship with Dystel, Goderich & Bourret, then she never left!
Amy loves her work as an agent. In an interview with First Five Frenzy, she offers her unique insight on what makes a novel irresistible!
Science, History, Narrative Nonfiction
Ian Bonaparte is originally from Portland, Oregon. He’s worked his way up in the book world with duel experience from literary agencies like Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, and publishing houses like Macmillian.
Now at Janklow and Nesbit Associates, he enjoys taking a holistic approach to working with his authors. He brings to the table his background in editing fiction when looking at each manuscript.
Community-focused fiction and non-fiction
Hannah Brattesani loves niche stories. Stories of people living on the edge, even in the middle of a bustling city. She has a sweet spot for books that can tie in themes of wellness and sexuality, or read like poetry.
Raised in the Scottish Highlands before moving to America, Hannah loves to see cross-cultural interactions in literature that help explain what we see as cultural norms. Think about the difference between West Coast and East Coast pizza if you will.
She began her agenting journey at Emma Sweeney Literary before transitioning to Freidrich Literary. Now she’s ready to accept queries, so keep them coming!
Cozy, feel-good reads from authors of all backgrounds
Rachel Brooks loves nothing more than curling up by the fireplace with a good book. She’s looking for stories that readers will want to return to again and again.
She is especially interested in promoting Asian authors as a member of #SEACritterspub. Rachel talks more about this initiative in her interview with Divi.
Rachel knew right away that she wanted to be an agent. First, she was an apprentice to senior agent Louise Fury. Then she worked with L. Perkins Literary before setting down with the Bookends Literary team.
Patrice Caldwell loves to see gripping romance novels with exotic settings. The ex from hell could be a perfect fit!
As Patrice states in her interview with Kirkus Reviews, she believes genre doesn’t define a book. One of her goals is to close the gap between YA and adult literature.
Before becoming an agent at Morhaim Literary, Patrice was an editor with Disney-Hyperion and a children’s book editor. She still has a soft spot for children’s literature and will occasionally represent KidLit too!
Narrative non-fiction and literary fiction
Heather Carr loves to learn from the experts when she reads. Narrators with humor and a love of the written word.
She studied at the University of Appleton, WI, before landing her first publishing gig with Trident Media Group. After Heather learned all she could there, she joined the Friedrich Literary team, where she is happily tucked away in her office reading manuscripts.
Imagine the rotten smell of an old dragon’s lair, the hard-hitting chill of a hail storm from the gods, or the gentle touch of a cross-dressing wizard’s fingertips along your back.
Immersive storytelling is a must for Zabé Ellor. Spaceships are worth bonus points. Find out what else he’d love to see in his latest interview with Marie Lamba.
He’s worked within the publishing spheres with small presses and agencies. Previously a team member with Inklings Literary, now he calls Jennifer De Chiara Literary home.
Intelligent multicultural women’s fiction
Kemi Faderin wants more female protagonists who can shine with or without the spotlight staring them down.
Kemi loves to challenge herself and her readers to reconsider their preconceptions about society in the novels she represents.
Hailing from Maryland, Kemi wasn’t a born book lover like many of us claim. Instead, she discovered the magic of having an exceptional high school English teacher. Then her life would never be the same.
First, she studied at NYC, then with Liza Dawson Associates, and finally, she landed at Dystel, Goderich, & Bourret.
Tara Gilbert loves lyrical writing and strong storytelling. She’s into subtle magic, though she admits tarot cards are rather irresistible.
Aside from the countless hours that Tara has spent learning about books from local libraries; she gained a great appreciation for the process as a whole while interning with Entangled Publishing.
It wasn’t long after her internship that Tara made the switch to agenting, now with Corvisiero Literary. She will be attending the 2021 Los Angeles Writers Conference representing herself and her fellow Corvisiero agents this summer!
Claire Harris is open to fiction and non-fiction submissions about all the things that go bump in the night.
She’s a member of the Foundry Literary team and avid Gillian Flynn fan. She first began studying literature at the University of Texas before moving to New York to learn from the NYU Summer Publishing Institute.
If you have a story about a compelling murder case, Claire’s just dying to see it.
In an interview with Michelle, Amanda elaborates on what she’s looking for in 2021, but I’ll give you the gist below.
Amanda Jain is open to stories of all genres, with a sweet spot for historical tales. She appreciates fiction with vivid scenery and non-fiction from unexpected voices.
Amanda lives outside of Washington, DC, and works with Bookends Literary. In a past life, she received a master’s in history of the decorative arts and worked with W.W. Norton.
Fun rom-coms with diverse characters
Kat is a proud supporter of #ownvoices working with Donald Maass Literary. Previously she worked for Corvisiero Literary, where she confirmed her love for discovering passionate authors.
To learn more about Kat’s literary interests and background, check out her interview with Darling Axe. I’ll give you some of the main points below.
She enjoys both literary and commercial voices. As an avid reader herself, she understands the importance of everyone having characters to relate to at different stages in life.
Among her many favorite genres, Kat gravitates towards science fiction that reads like a nightmarish reality. She’s a big fan of TV shows in the vein of Black Mirror and the Twilight Zone.
Confessional memoirs and non-fiction
A poet by nature and nonbinary from birth (pronouns: they/their) Trevor Ketner is eager to read your genre-bending, experimental, and graphic works.
They embrace stories the include people of various backgrounds, ethnicities, and gender/sexual orientations. Their agency, Ladderbird, hosted them for a new agent interview that further explains their interests.
Trevor currently calls Manhattan home. Though working in publishing for companies such as Graywolf Press, Catapult, Slice Magazine, and many others over the years has allowed them to travel near and far.
Cross-cultural fiction and non-fiction
A Georgia native, Kayla finds herself drawn to stories of the South and tribal mythology. The use of satire is always welcome here, darling.
Kayla found her way into the writing world through Harper’s Bazaar then moved on to hold multiple positions at Creative Loafing Atlanta. Now she is happy to be working with Liza Dawson Associates.
Nuanced stories between literary and genre
Chad Luibl loves to read rapid-fire narratives with haunting prose. Bonus points awarded for graphic works.
Chad’s cultivated his interest in Eastern Europe when he taught English there for several years. Upon returning to the United States, he collected an MFA in Virginia and worked as an editor.
Now he’s an agent with Janklow and Nesbit, and he’s hungrily awaiting his next bestseller.
Silk punk stories with cross-cultural vibes
In short, Em Lysaght is looking for magical heroes and heroines battling for the fate of the world, humorous sidekicks, and romance that would make even the gods jealous! For the whole story, check out her interview with her agency, Ladderbird.
Em always knew she wanted to be a part of the book-building process, but her path to publishing was less than straight-forward.
She attended multiple art schools, worked as a comic artist, and received an MLitt in ancient Greek monsters from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland!
(Don’t act like you’re not jealous of the ancient monsters degree)
Interracial romance without the cliches
Leah Pierre is looking for fresh perspectives that challenge cliches and the stories we tell ourselves, especially when it comes to family and relationships.
A self-proclaimed bibliophile (aren’t we all?), she graduated from Rosemont College with her BA, and now she’s back there getting her masters in publishing!
For further details and query information, check out Leah’s interview with her agency, Ladderbird.
Contemporary fiction set in major U.S. cities
Steven Salpeter is firmly anti-slush pile. He’s been around the block as an editor, team member at Writers House, and agent with Brandt & Hochman. He doesn’t want to risk passing up the next bestseller to cross his virtual desk.
Now at Curtis Brown LTD, he loves getting to work hands-on with writers to bright their stories to life! He has a wide variety of interests and a live email address, he just needs the perfect book.
An #OwnVoice and #Sheros advocate, Britt Siess is looking for empowering stories with complex characters. She is looking for literature for readers of all ages (MG and up).
Britt has cultivated her love of books as a reader, bookseller, and an agent. She’s worked with Taryn Fagerness Literary and Wales Literary. She now has her own agency.
Jennifer Chen Tran studied law in Boston, MA, before cracking into the publishing world with her current agency, Bradford Literary.
She feels that her unique background helps her negotiate the best contacts for her authors and strengthen their brands.
In an interview with Kite Tales, Jennifer Tran lists her favorite qualities in books and authors. She also lets readers know she’s interested in graphic works (MG and up) as well as a few other exciting genres.
Neo-noir worlds and character-driven works
If writers are tortured artists, then agents must be insatiable noir fanatics. Bleach the bloodstains from the rug and burn the rough drafts.
Maximillian Ximenez from L. Perkins Agency is looking for something terrifying, shocking, and gutsy. His interests also branch into heist narrative non-fiction and popular trends.
Maximillian worked with Blizzard Entertainment for years before joining the publishing scene. He’s the agent for New York Times Bestselling author Mick Neilson and BAFTA winner Lucien Soulban.
The Twittersphere is buzzing, and The Manuscript Wishlist is continually updating!

My name is Grace Giska. I am an undergraduate student studying Creative Writing and the author of three novels, one of which I like a lot. During my free time, I like to walk my dog and imagine what she thinks of me.

Gilda Haber, PhD / February 9, 2020 at 7:43 pm Reply
Highly interesting and useful to an author, formerly taught and published in academia, and NIH on Building Design for the Handicapped and Aged . I have published a memoir, Cockney Girl about being born and growing up in riotous East London, evacuated from London’s WW2 bombing to country foster parents ranging from kind to concupiscent. Now retired, I have become a Certified hat maker and written a collection of short stories, some published, Diary of a Mad Hatter. I seek an agent for Diary of a Mad Hatter and Jerusalem Affair. The latter is a trilogy beginning with a romance set in Jerusalem and D.C. between an Israeli man and a Jewish-British woman. Both are divorced, or so he says. She is visiting Jerusalem for an International Conference on Building Design. Unknown to her, her ravishing lover is an Arab. I am seeking an agent interested in international,multicultural and Jewish Creative Nonfiction. All real, names changed my work reads as fiction. Thanks for suggestions and list of literary agents.

Great website. I don’t usually leave comments, but I’m impressed with how each agent is highlighted, including their preferences. Also appreciate getting to know something about them and their favorite books. Pleased to see some of my own favorite books on their lists.

Informative. I like the agents presented. Unfortunately I don’t believe I’m a fit for any of them. My manuscript is a character-driven mainstream literary saga with a paranormal atmosphere. Based on actual events, it’s best described as a combination of Tom Sawyer and The Shining. It’s Fried Green Tomatoes and The Blair Witch Project. The only “Monsters in the Woods” are the protagonist brothers and their mischievous circle of friends. My novel has a wide appeal. Elders to children.

I would recommend checking out Manuscript Wish List, either the website or the Twitter feed, to find agents who are specifically looking for paranormal books.

Hi everyone,
I have a complete non-fiction ‘novel’ based on the Happyland fire that killed 87 people in that Bronx, NY dance club, 1990. I wonder if there’s an agent or publisher out there willing to take a look at it. A true, chilling story.
Bookfox / March 13, 2020 at 7:00 am Reply
Hi Rob, Write up a great query letter and submit it to a few of the agents on this list looking for that type of book. Good luck!

I am an older adult. Although it might seem off beat, but older Americans have love stories to tell and encounters. I am looking for an agent who consider the possibilities that this happens. Older people have sex although it might be a turn off to the younger foe. Some older American still have their youth in a sort of unorthodox way. I recently wrote a short story about a woman who became a cougar in her golden years. Now! that was something, and it’s something older adults would read. So, is there an agent for this genre?

ha ha Anita. I am sure you know that the young generation invented sex. How they think they got here I have no idea. xx

Great site with great people,great backgrounds and great appetites for great writes.Have published my first novel,looking for an agent and have a second one ready.Also a screenwriter with seven completed screenplays.
WylieR / May 13, 2021 at 10:54 pm Reply
Ultimately, agents are looking for quality work. Your age is not especially relevant in the marketplace. Just write the best story or stories you can, and see if anyone is willing to take a look at them.

Bookfox / May 27, 2020 at 8:56 am Reply
Research them, write an excellent query letter, review their manuscript submission rules, and above all, don’t expect them to reach out to you.
Ines Charlotte Rothen / June 2, 2020 at 5:23 am Reply
to No. 7 Ms Heather Carr.
I would like my book THE WAYFARERS published by a mainstream publisher. I have self published so far 11 books (3 autobiographies and 8 literary novels. I was driven to self publishing because I have had to date 300 rejcetions both from agents and mainstream publishers. I don’t want a vanity publisher. All my books can be seen on Amazon under books – Ines C Rothen. Might you be interested in THE WAYFARERS. iF YES i CAN SEND YOU THE FIRST 10,000 WORDS.
Bookfox / June 2, 2020 at 7:32 am Reply
Hi Ines, I would suggest writing a query letter and an email to her.
josephine kelly / June 3, 2020 at 12:49 pm Reply
well, this is something different, so i’ll give it a try. I have three novels set in the village of Lindos, on the Geek island of Rhodes. There is no crime, no sci fi, just a fun story of a craft holiday on a Greek island.
The story follows the guests as they arrive, who they relate to, and what brought them on a Lindian craft holiday in the first place.
The fictional characters are the group tutor and the guests. Most others are real locals and expats you meet in the bars and restaurants in the village. Lindos is the most popular tourist location in the Dodeconese.

Grace, if you ever come across ANYONE willing to agent revolutionary history, THAT would be spectacular. There are so many agents who want to escape in “historical fiction” and other genres and so few who recognize the drama in true history. My colleague and I are just emerging from our private, 8-year collaboration to publish our fin
