[Erica Verrillo]

Litopians! Tell your life story! Here is a list of 230 agents looking for memoirs. These agents are, in most cases, also interested in representing other non-fiction. Read their submission requirements carefully. In the case of memoirs, agents frequently want a writing sample, just as they would for fiction.

How did you research this, Erica?

Hi Pete. I went to AgentQuery and searched for agents accepting memoirs. Then, I went to each individual agent's agency, and checked to see if they were still working as agents and accepting queries. Then I looked at their submission requirements. I have used this list recently, and I can verify that as of the date I posted the list, all of the agents were actively seeking memoirs.
