At the Bradford Literary Agency, we specialize in all types of romance (including category), romantica/erotica, women’s fiction, mystery, thrillers and young adult. We also represent non-fiction and other fiction genres. All queries sent to us will be considered with the exception of poetry, screenplays and short stories.
We do not charge reading fees for evaluating your material.
We are an editorial-focused agency and prefer to work closely with our authors in helping to build strong, sustainable careers. We believe the best author-agent relationships extend beyond making sales; in order to best serve our clients’ needs, we must also be a partner, an advisor, a careful listener, a troubleshooter and an advocate.
