200+ YA/Adult Agency List w/ Links


This is a list of literary agencies and their links that represent YA fiction. Most of them are opened to Adult fiction and different genre. I went through AQ, QT, AW, AA, AAR, and other websites in order to get this list completed. Hopefully, it'll save you some time in your search for a perfect agent. For some of the agencies, I didn't add any name or last name because there was only one agent. Please excuse the typos! And please remember to double check their submission status & guidelines. For query letter writing tips, check out my post Basic Dos and Don'ts in Query Letter Writing. And for my editing services, click here.
Good luck~

  1. Great list! Loved looking through it, but definitely be careful to do your research before querying any of these agencies. Some are Big Name, yes, but a few of these don't represent YA at all (like Ahearn Agency) and some are disreputable agencies that charge reading fees (like Charlotte Gusay).

  2. Done! I don't know how that got away from me. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. About Ahearn... I'm trying to put agencies for adult fictions as well. If you troll some blog and interviews, you will find that some of these agencies won't right out say it, but do accept YA. I've received a full request from one of these agencies, so I know:)
