Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has a modest but established literary agent presence, with agencies based in Philadelphia and, to a lesser extent, Pittsburgh.

The state's deep publishing and printing history, combined with its strong university system, gives Pennsylvania-based agents a solid footing in both fiction and nonfiction categories. While the state doesn't have the density of agencies found in New York, its proximity to that market means Pennsylvania authors are well positioned to connect with agents both locally and in the broader Northeast corridor.
