Find & Submit • Literary Agents
Literary Agent Directory
A directory of literary agents, built to help authors research representation with verified, up-to-date details.
Research agents with confidence.
Finding the right literary agent starts with accurate information — who they represent, what they're currently looking for, and how they prefer to be approached. A directory that's out of date or unverified can waste an author's time and hurt their chances with a promising query.
Phoenix is building a literary agent directory that only publishes listings once agent details have been checked and confirmed. Until an entry is verified, we don't list it, and our team is available to help authors research agents in the meantime.
What this directory covers
Agent listings
Verified agent profiles covering agency, genres represented, and submission preferences.
Genre filtering
The ability to narrow the directory by genre and category once listings are published.
Submission guidance
Notes on how each listed agent prefers to receive queries and manuscripts.
Ongoing verification
A process for checking and updating listings so authors aren't working from outdated information.
Built for authors who are
- Querying agents for the first time
- Expanding a submission list
- Targeting a specific genre or category
- Researching agents before submitting a manuscript
