Fantasy is the most-submitted genre on many UK and US agent lists, which means agents are both hungry for it and ruthless about what lands. Epic, urban, romantasy, dark academia, and literary fantasy with magic at the edges all ask for different instincts. The label is broad; the taste is not. This page shows agents who explicitly represent fantasy. The broad search toggle catches more who'd consider it under commercial fiction, speculative fiction, children's, or literary fiction.
