89 Children’s Book Literary Agents Now Accepting Submissions

December 27, 2018

If you’ve written a children’s book and want to get a traditional publishing deal, you’ll need to work with a literary agent who specializes in bringing children’s books to market.

The children’s book market is very big, and there are many sub-genres or sub-markets inside the children’s book market. There are children’s picture books, children’s literature, board books, concept books, picture story books, early reader books, chapter books, middle-grade novels, tween fiction, and young adult (YA) novels.

These different niches represent entirely different markets, so it’s not enough to just find any old agent or publisher to work with. You need to make sure you select a literary agent and publisher who really understand your book and your market.
