Title: Literary Agents for Puzzle Books
Post by: WordWizard on December 24, 2023, 10:12:03 AM
Hello Everyone,
I am currently in search of a literary agent that could potentially help to get my work shown to larger presses, such as Simon & Schuster or Penguin Random House.
Is there anyone out there that knows any literary agents that specialize in or handle puzzle book authors?
If so, any & all input would be appreciated. A name-drop, a website, an agency OR perhaps you might have advice on a better route to publishing vs. having to go through a literary agent to get to the bigger name publishers... ?
The 3 categories of puzzles I specialize in are:
1. Crosswords 2. Word Search 3. Codewords
Thanks for taking time to read my post & I look forward to your responses :)

Through an e-mail correspondence, Will Shortz said that literary agents for puzzle books don't exist because there's no value in it for the agents :(

Will Shortz stated via email that literary agents for puzzle books are non-existent due to the lack of perceived value for agents. vampire survivors (https://vampire-survival.com)
