summary: 'Literary Agent Scout: quoted wish-list matches with query status and fee checks'
description: 'For an author with a book to query, finds literary agents and agencies on the agencies'' own websites, reads their guidelines and agent bios, and ranks them against your pitch. Every fit claim carries a sentence quoted verbatim from the agent''s page (quotes not found on the page are dropped), each agent shows whether the page says queries are open or closed with the retrieval time, and any agency page that asks for a reading, editing or marketing fee or promises publication is excluded with the offending sentence. You can also pass agency pages you already found. Robots.txt is honoured. It does not read Manuscript Wish List, the AALA directory, X/Twitter or QueryTracker (their terms bar automated access), does not verify agency membership or sales, does not write queries, and does not cover writing contests.
Price: 0.40 USDC on Base (x402).'
