Find & Submit • Literary Agents

Find an Agent

Research tools to help authors find literary agents who represent their genre and are open to submissions.

Find agents suited to your book.

Every literary agent has their own tastes, client list, and submission preferences. Querying agents who don't represent your genre — or aren't currently open to new clients — is one of the most common ways authors waste time and queries.

Phoenix helps authors research agents more efficiently, pointing toward genre fit, current openness to submissions, and how to approach each one. Our team can support this research directly while our verified agent listings continue to be built.

What we can help you with

  • Genre-matched research

    Help identifying agents whose stated interests align with your manuscript.

  • Submission status checks

    Guidance on which agents are currently open to queries or new clients.

  • Shortlist building

    Support putting together a realistic, well-researched list of agents to approach.

  • Approach guidance

    Notes on how each agent prefers to be queried, based on available information.

Built for authors who are

  • Preparing to query for the first time
  • Widening a stalled submission list
  • Targeting a specific genre or category
  • Unsure which agents are a realistic fit
  • Returning to submissions after a revision
