The interests agents state in their bios and on their own websites, with the number of agents mentioning each. A mention is what an agent says they look for, not a measure of demand. Filter by dimension to see where your book fits.
Interests agents mention, by number of agents353 tags
How representative is this? These tags are read from agents' bios, submission pages, FAQs and wishlists, so most of the catalogue is represented — a wider net than the comp chart, which only sees agents who name specific titles. The interests mentioned by the largest number of agents lean towards narrative nonfiction, literary fiction and memoir, because those are what agents write about at greatest length. Genre coverage is still broad: romance, thriller, fantasy and mystery all appear among the first twenty. Browse agents by every tag.
