For authors who are ready to query

Find literary agents who want your book

Phrasemill matches manuscripts to agents from what they say they want on their public websites. Search by genre, tone, and theme — or by authors and books they mention.

Search is the matching tool. Genre pages and the authors-they-mention chart are public guides from those same websites.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe your book

    Genre, tone, and theme in your own words — or start from tags.

  2. 2

    Match from their websites

    We read what agents and agencies say they want on their public sites, with the source attached.

  3. 3

    Query the ones who want it

    Open status, represented work, and evidence sit behind sign-in. Search is where matching happens.
