Agent Research
We research and build a targeted list of literary agents matched to your genre, themes, and market. Every contact is current, carefully vetted, and actively seeking manuscripts like yours today.
Guided Literary Agent Search
The literary agent search breaks more authors than the writing ever does. You spend weeks researching names, crafting query letters that feel like shots in the dark, and waiting for responses that never come. We give you the knowledge, the preparation, and the professional support to walk into this process with your eyes open and your manuscript in the best possible shape.

Why Our Literary Agent Search Works Better
Outdated agent lists. Generic query templates. Submissions sent to agents who no longer represent your genre. That is how many services operate. We use current market insights, polished submission packages, and experienced professionals who know what agents want today.

FAQs
What is included in your submission service?
Manuscript assessment, agent shortlisting, query letter writing, synopsis preparation, tailored submission packages, response tracking, and a full one-on-one consultation before anything goes out to agents.
How do I know if my manuscript is ready?
We assess it at the start of every engagement. If it needs more work before a search begins, we will tell you plainly and explain exactly what would make it stronger. We would rather give you that honest answer now than send you out before you are ready.
What happens during the agent consultation?
It is a focused one-on-one session where we go through your full submission package, talk through your shortlist strategy, and address every question you have about the process before a single submission goes out.
How many agents will you submit to?
We work in targeted rounds rather than mass blasts. A typical first round covers eight to fifteen carefully chosen agents. This protects your manuscript's standing in the market and gives us room to adjust strategy based on what comes back.
What does book agent representation actually mean?
It means a literary agent agrees to take your manuscript to publishers on your behalf. They negotiate deals, handle contracts, and advocate for your career in exchange for a commission on the advances and royalties your book earns.
Can you help if I have already been rejected?
Yes, and this is actually one of the most common situations we work with. We review your existing query letter, look at which agents you approached and why, and figure out what needs to change before a new round begins.
Can you guarantee I will get an agent?
No reputable service can promise that, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we do guarantee is a professionally prepared submission package and an honest process that gives your manuscript the strongest realistic shot at finding the right representation.
How long does the whole search take?
Most agents take between four and twelve weeks to respond. We set honest expectations upfront and stay in regular contact throughout so you are never sitting in silence wondering what is happening.
