Literary Agents for Puzzle Books
« 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
