20 Literary Agents Seeking Romance Fiction
In every possible sub-genre and vibe variation!
Do you like money? How about love? Bit of both? How does a romantic fiction publishing industry valued $1.44 billion sound? Yeah…go write that rom-com. You (probably) won’t regret it.
One of my best modes of research is when you’re not actively researching but just learning as you go, on to go, without it feeling like work. I feel like you surprisingly retain more information and make better analytical judgments. I’ve been doing these agent lists for a few weeks now. Here’s what I’ve observed: genre fiction (Romance very much included), sells prolifically. This is both after the publication stage and well before it, during querying. When you know an agent is seeking a specific genre and sub-genre (especially if they mention tropes, comps and vibes), then it’s pretty easy to filter out who not to send your work to. This might be limiting compared to literary fiction, but it’s also freeing…plus, statistically, lesser chance of rejection.
Having said my spiel about random not-research, I do intend to write something more more backed by data and shit about my agent-exploration. What do you think?
This list includes:
The agent & agency they work for
What they are looking for right now
Authors they’ve represented
Exact details on how to query them
Favorite books (where we could find them)
What else do you want to know? If we can find it, we’ll include it.
