US Health & wellbeing Literary Agents

115 agents · 72 currently open to submissions

Health and wellbeing writing spans everything from prescriptive self-help guides to deeply personal illness memoirs, with 34+ agents representing authors across this broad spectrum. Some focus on evidence-based wellness books backed by medical credentials, while others seek transformative personal narratives like Susannah Cahalan's Brain on Fire or practical lifestyle guides from established health professionals. The category often blurs boundaries between memoir, narrative nonfiction, and prescriptive nonfiction, with agents typically specializing in specific approaches rather than the entire field. Mental health memoirs have gained particular traction, alongside books addressing chronic illness, addiction recovery, and alternative medicine approaches. Many agents prefer authors with platform credentials, whether through medical training, personal advocacy, or established wellness communities. Some lean toward science-backed approaches while others welcome more holistic perspectives on healing and personal transformation. When submitting, consider whether your manuscript fits the prescriptive self-help model, the narrative memoir tradition, or the hybrid approach that weaves personal story with actionable advice.
