A literary agent is an agent who represents writers and their written works to publishers, theatrical producers, film producers, and film studios, and assists in sale and deal negotiation. Literary agents most often represent novelists, screenwriters, and non-fiction writers.
Reputable literary agents generally charge a commission and do not charge a fee upfront. The commission rate is generally 15%.[1]
