Travel writing is a small part of trade publishing, but a stubborn one that keeps producing crossover hits when the writer treats place as a way into something larger. The American adventure-memoir lineage from Cheryl Strayed's Wild through to contemporary climate-and-pilgrimage projects, and the British literary-travel tradition from Bruce Chatwin onward, both feed into the current market. Some agents focus on memoir-adjacent travel, others on cultural commentary, historical-travel projects, or the slow rise of climate, conservation, and indigenous-knowledge writing that overlaps with nature writing. 20+ agents on this page show travel signals or closely adjacent narrative non-fiction interests. Whether the project leans toward memoir, journalism, cultural criticism, or pilgrimage matters for agent fit before submitting, because agents in travel often specialise sharply within these approaches.
