Important Notice:
We are aware that writers have been receiving emails impersonating agents at Williamson Literary. If you suspect you’ve received one of these, don’t fall prey to their flattery through AI-generated prose, and don’t share your work without verifying the sender. We typically do not request manuscripts or writing materials via email without some prior contact with an author. We also never request money from an author for publishing services, fees, or the like. Learn more about these scams and what to watch out for at Authors Guild: Publishing Scam Alerts.
Here’s what we currently represent:
Nonfiction: history, sports, science, environmental, biographies, travel, culture, adventure, educational, motivational (i.e. work that informs or inspires social change or advocates for women and BIPOC). Give thought to your author platform and develop a strong marketing section for your book proposal.
Adult Fiction: upmarket, contemporary, literary, and commercial; character-driven women’s fiction, book club fiction, domestic suspense, adventure, international, upbeat, feel-good, dark and dangerous, fiction with fantastical elements or magical realism, poignant social commentaries, humor, satire, new takes on old tropes. Send us writing that sings rather than tells, take us on an emotional journey, build vivid scenes for us, craft strong voices and unusual and unforgettable settings (we love stories where place is a character too). Any subject is welcome.
If you’d like to address your query letter to a particular agent, visit our About page to learn more.
What we do Not represent:

- Memoir
- Horror (as a strict genre, but we like classic horror elements)
