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.

Why Phoenix
We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect find an agent 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.
