US Business Literary Agents

112 agents · 74 currently open to submissions

Business books span everything from Malcolm Gladwell's accessible social science to heavyweight management theory, with 24+ agents representing authors across this commercially significant category. The field divides into distinct territories: narrative business books that read like investigative journalism, prescriptive how-to guides for entrepreneurs and executives, and academic-adjacent works exploring economics, leadership psychology, and organisational behaviour. Some agents focus on celebrity CEO memoirs and startup stories, while others seek data-driven analysis of workplace trends, financial markets, or technological disruption. The category increasingly overlaps with science writing, particularly around artificial intelligence, behavioural economics, and climate policy, creating opportunities for authors who can translate complex research into actionable insights. Platform matters significantly here, with agents often prioritising authors who have consulting experience, media presence, or recognised expertise in their field. Success often depends on timing your submission around news cycles, conference seasons, or emerging business trends that validate your book's relevance to corporate readers and general audiences alike.
