QueryRight

Publishing intelligence, for authors

Find the right agents for your book.

Describe your manuscript once. QueryRight reads it against a researched, source-verified database of literary agents and returns a short, ranked list — with the specific evidence for why each one fits. Not another directory of hundreds to search through yourself.

Your best agent matches

Wren Calloway — Calloway & Vance

  • · Represents adult literary fantasy
  • · Currently accepting queries
  • · Represents an author you compared to

Idris Marsh — Marsh & Bellweather

  • · Represents your subgenre
  • · Word count fits their range

An illustrative example of the shortlist format — real matches are pulled from our sourced agent database.

How it works

Three steps, one shortlist.

I

Describe your book

Title, genre, comp titles, themes, a pitch — the same information you'd already be gathering to query. Takes a few minutes.

II

QueryRight reads it structurally

Your manuscript profile is compared field by field against a researched, source-verified database of literary agents — every match is backed by real, checkable data, not a guess.

III

Get a ranked, evidenced shortlist

Each match shows exactly why: genre, wishlist, comparable clients, open queries. Save the ones you want to query first.

For literary agents

Built for how you actually find your next client.

QueryRight isn't just an author-facing shortlist tool — agents get a real workspace: a pitch board, a searchable author directory, and the tracking you'd otherwise keep in a spreadsheet.

I

Browse pitches, not query slush

Authors submit structured pitches with genre, comps, and word count up front. Filter to what you're actually looking for instead of an inbox.

II

Find authors directly

Search the author directory by genre, themes, and comparable titles, and reach out first — the match works both ways.

III

Track it all in one place

A saved workspace for authors and pitches you're following, deal records for your list, and reply templates for the responses you send most.

Every entry, sourced

We don't scrape a directory and reformat it.

Every agent in QueryRight is researched directly from agency websites and other primary sources, with a source and a last-verified date on the details that change — wishlist, submission requirements, whether they're currently open to queries. You're trusting us with your manuscript and your time; we treat stale or unverifiable data as worse than no data at all.
