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

Marian Ostrow — Ostrow Literary

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

Devon Achebe — Fieldstone Agency

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

A real example of the shortlist format — every line is evidence, not a guess.

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.

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.
