About this guide
A practical handbook for writers who want representation — published by someone who has sat on both sides of the desk.
The Writer's Guide to Agents is published by Stewart Ferris. It is a free handbook: what an agent is, what they do, whether you need one, how to get one, what they charge, how to approach them, and a directory of agencies you can sort by region and type of representation.
Stewart is a writer and publisher. He has published hundreds of books and turned down more than ten thousand manuscripts. The guide is written from that trade, not from a seminar.

That address is for the publisher. It is not a submissions inbox for manuscripts, and it will not get you an agent. For how to query, start with how to approach an agent.
What this site is not
It is not an agency. It does not accept payment from agencies for inclusion in the directory. Listings are for research; always follow the agency’s own guidelines before you query.
