US Nature & environment Literary Agents

41 agents · 29 currently open to submissions

Nature and environment writing spans everything from Rachel Carson's Silent Spring tradition of science-driven advocacy to contemporary climate fiction, wilderness memoir, and environmental justice narratives. At least 13 agents represent writers working in this space, though they approach the category from different angles. Some focus on narrative non-fiction that translates scientific research for general readers, while others seek literary fiction exploring humanity's relationship with the natural world. The category frequently overlaps with science writing, politics, health, memoir, and travel, particularly as climate change reshapes how publishers position environmental books. Memoir remains strong here, especially accounts of conservation work, outdoor adventure, farming, or environmental awakening. When submitting, decide whether the project is science communication, political non-fiction, memoir, or literary fiction with environmental pressure, because that positioning changes the agent list quickly.
