BILL'S LIST OF LITERARY AGENTS, LITERARY AGENCIES AND THEIR AUTHORS' BOOKS



The 2007 Hammons Prizes for Poetry and Short Fiction writing contest has been concluded. Click here for the results.



Literary agents, check out the WRHAMMONS.COM authors' discussion group on Facebook (New!) and the WRHAMMONS.COM authors' discussion group on MySpace (5,400 members and counting)! I've been telling friends that the literary agents who visit this site visit its related MySpace/Facebook profiles and groups, so click here and make me an honest man. And if you're looking for new author clients, set up a profile and send us a friend request - we'd love to hear from you!

***Authors, also be sure to check out this site's forums section, where you can post messages for other writers as well as excerpts from that book you're trying to find an agent for, short stories, poetry, industry rumors, or anything else you might think appropriate. Also check back frequently for others' postings there and updates/expansions here on Bill's List (Push Ctrl+D to bookmark this page in your "Favorites")***

Written a work of fiction or a memoir that you think is worth publishing? Above are links to lists of possible publishers, representatives, and a few editors of your work. The publishers of short fiction are sorted into categories by word limit, then arranged within each category alphabetically. Unlike other lists out there, Bill's List gets right to the point: the publication listings include concrete criteria and many of the listings include a few examples of past projects. All information posted on this page is updated on an ongoing basis. Looking over the listings, you'll see immediately who takes what and what their interests are. Best of luck, writers, and remember: be polite, be professional, and be sure to tell 'em W.R. Hammons sent you!

Please note that every literary agent on Bill's List has sold (or has at least attempted to sell) a title directly to a U.S. publisher (i.e., these agents are mostly based in the U.S., but you will find an occasional U.K.-based agent, identified by his or her "UNITED KINGDOM" address, who might be worth contacting for possible representation in the American market).

If you're an agent, an editor, or just someone interested in sharing useful information, feel free to e-mail me with the latest updates on comings, goings, etc. Due to the facts that posting an e-mail address on the web makes it ripe for spamming, and many publishing industry professionals have reverted to their preference for snail mail submissions, no e-mail addresses will be posted on this site unless its proprietor specifically requests it and/or it's the only contact information available.

Do you have questions or concerns regarding a particular agent? I'm hesitant to make any recommendations regarding an agent or agency, but you might want to check out the Assocation of Authors' Representatives and their Canon of Ethics for what you should reasonably expect in your dealings with a literary agent and/or agency.
