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.

An illustrative example of the shortlist format — real matches are pulled from our sourced agent database.
How it works
Three steps, one shortlist.
Describe your book
Title, genre, comp titles, themes, a pitch — the same information you'd already be gathering to query. Takes a few minutes.
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.
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.
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.
Find authors directly
Search the author directory by genre, themes, and comparable titles, and reach out first — the match works both ways.
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.
