Agent, Small Press, and Hybrid Publisher Research

Let us take care of your literary agent or publisher research needs!

There are three types of list that we offer:

  • Agents who have made deals for books like yours along with their submission information; past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior! (to view an agent list example, click here and here)
  • Trustworthy small press publishers that seek to publish works that share similarities with your book project
  • Trustworthy hybrid publishers that match your publishing goals and budget

Authors who benefit from these research services usually have a finished manuscript and submission materials (such as a query letter, book synopsis, or book proposal) prepared or at least in draft form. We will generate a list of agents or publishers who are looking for manuscripts like yours. Once we turn the list of agents or publishers over to you, all you need to do is submit your materials to the agents or publishers of your choice.

Although we will point out any obvious errors or issues we find in your submission materials,
we do not provide opinions or assurances about the viability of book projects,
and there is no guarantee that anyone on the list will accept your proposed book project.
Please check out Jane Friedman’s blog (here) for help with these issues.

I used this company to help me find agents who may be interested in representing my work. As many authors are, I am already very busy with revisions and writing proposals and appreciate the helping hand CWC offers in finding the right person to champion my project. Chris has been very thorough and conscientious in his target list. Thanks, CWC!

I am a Disabled author and am sometimes unable to research due to fatigue and pain, or inaccessible websites. They’ve always provided me with both agents and publishers I proudly work with today. Their services are very thorough and they are also a great starting point if you want to find an agent in an unfamiliar genre.

Within a week of sending queries out to the agents recommended by [Copy Write Consultants], I got three requests from three different agents to see my manuscript. Their service was prompt and thorough, and obviously, their research was beautifully specific to my work. I highly recommend them!

Christopher prepared a timely and comprehensive list of twenty agents who would be appropriate for my manuscript. It was manuscript, not just genre-specific, included submission instructions, and seventeen of the twenty agents were people that I had not considered. There also were some great ideas for comp titles in the report.
