Literary Agent Directory

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 A directory that's out of date or unverified can waste an author's time and hurt their chances with a promising query.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  A process for checking and updating listings so authors aren't working from outdated information.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
• Looking for a more organized way to track prospects

Verified agent listings

Phoenix only publishes agent listings once the agency, representation focus and submission details have been verified. This directory is currently being built, so no listings appear yet. While it's underway, our team can help you research literary agents and submission options directly — get in touch and tell us about your manuscript.

Why Phoenix

We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect literary agent directory 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.
