Publish Nonfiction Technology Books

Posted 2 days ago

Summary

Hi, I've written a non-fiction book about [Software that runs itself] and I'm looking to go the traditional publishing route, not self-publishing. I need help finding the right literary agent to represent it. Specifically, I'm hoping you can help me identify agents who represent non-fiction or business/technology books and are currently open to new clients. I'd also love help researching their recent deals and client lists using tools like Publishers Marketplace, QueryTracker, or Manuscript Wish List, so I can figure out who's the best fit. I already have a draft of my book proposal (overview, market analysis, comp titles, author platform, and a sample chapter) but I think it needs a professional eye to really make it shine. If you can help me tighten that up, along with my query letter, that would be huge. Ideally you've worked in publishing before, whether as an agent, editor, or someone who's helped authors get signed, especially in the tech or business non-fiction space. I'mll be looking to build a list of around 20 to 20 to 30 agents ranked by best fit.
