Agent Profiles
Individual agent research summaries covering representation focus, background, and submission preferences.
Understand an agent before you query.
A query letter lands better when it's addressed to an agent whose interests genuinely match the manuscript. That means knowing more than a name — it means understanding what an agent represents, what they've said they're looking for, and how they like to be approached.
Phoenix's agent profiles are built from verified information and published only once confirmed. Where a profile you need doesn't yet exist, our team can research the specific agent you're considering and share what we find.
What a profile can include
Representation focus
Genres, categories and types of projects an agent represents.
Background summary
Publicly available information about an agent's career and client list.
Submission preferences
How an agent likes to receive queries, sample pages or full manuscripts.
Current status
Whether an agent is confirmed to be open, closed, or selectively open to submissions.
Useful for authors who are
- Deciding whether to query a specific agent
- Tailoring a query letter to an individual agent
- Comparing several agents before submitting
- Researching an agent ahead of a personalized pitch
Verified agent profiles
Agent profiles are published only after the details in them have been verified, so none are live yet. In the meantime, tell our team which agents you're considering and we'll help research their representation focus and submission preferences.
Phoenix only lists details it has verified. Need help now? Ask our team for submission research.

Why Phoenix
We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect agent profiles with the editing, publishing, marketing or media work around it, so each piece supports the next. We explain what we recommend and why, agree the scope with you before starting, and never promise sales, rankings, coverage or reviews.
