YA Fantasy Literary Agents

YA fantasy spans contemporary to epic: witches in the real world, invented kingdoms, romantasy, dark academia, folklore, monsters, courts, quests, and books that borrow from several shelves at once. Agents looking for YA fantasy are usually asking for a strong hook, a teenage emotional engine, and enough freshness to make familiar tropes feel alive again.

A word on the search. YA fantasy signals are scattered. Some agents list YA, some list fantasy, some list children's, some list speculative fiction. This page shows agents where YA and fantasy both appear in the data. Use the broad search toggle on the main directory when you want to catch a wider set of YA agents before narrowing by subgenre.

Every listing on PairPi is verified against the agent's own website, with the date we last checked. YA fantasy submissions need a clean premise fast. If the agent has to work too hard to understand the world, they may never reach the pages.
