Careers

Work With Us at Library Agents

We are a small team doing careful, honest work for writers. Open roles are listed below — if one fits, we would like to hear from you.

About Working Here

Library Agents is a research, preparation, and consulting service for authors. Our team verifies agent and publisher research, reviews manuscripts, coordinates submissions, and supports a large community of working writers — all to a standard our founder sets personally.

We hire people who care about doing the work properly: accurate research, honest feedback, and replies that arrive on time. If that sounds like you, one of the roles below may fit.

A note on what these roles are: Library Agents is not a literary agency, so these are not agent positions. You would be joining a service team that helps authors prepare and target their own submissions.
