Literary agents in 2025 are signing market-ready work with clear positioning and real readership signals. Fiction is leaning upmarket and book club with emotional depth, plus high-concept horror and fresh speculative. YA splits between escapist romance and darker tension. Nonfiction requires clear authority and platform for prescriptive ideas. Memoir needs a newsworthy hook or a singular voice. Queries must be precise: genre, word count, sharp logline, a 5 to 7 line pitch, clean comps, short bio. Most agents use QueryManager and list preferences on Manuscript Wish List. Fiction needs a polished manuscript. Nonfiction needs a full proposal with sample chapters. Many agents ask about AI use and expect the author’s voice to lead. Platform matters across BookTok, newsletters, and direct-to-reader funnels. Show awareness of packaging and merchandising potential, then follow every submission rule and vet credentials through AALA and Writer Beware. Agents want books that can sell now and authors who understand their lane and audience.
