A targeted list of literary agents representing:
MYSTERY / SUSPENSE / THRILLER
COMMERCIAL / ESPIONAGE and other genres

most of these agents also represent general fiction / nonfiction

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS LIST
This list was created for my own use when I was seeking representation for my first novel. Others found it useful, so I decided to keep it going.
It is updated once or twice a year.
Use this list as a starting point and always do a background check before signing on.

See what it took to sell my first novel.
