We love stories.

Formed in 1898, WME is the longest-running talent agency in the world. At its core, WME Books prides itself on operating as a boutique literary agency within a larger network which covers every area of entertainment.

We are proud to represent bestselling and award-winning authors in all genres including commercial, upmarket, literary fiction and non-fiction, as well as a wide range of children’s books and graphic novels; our authors have won the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Man Booker Prize, the Baillie Gifford Prize, the National Medal of Literature, the Waterstones Prize, the British Book Awards, and more.

It’s no secret that we work with literary giants, thought-leaders, and multihyphenate celebrities. But we’re honored that for the majority of our authors, we are in partnership from the very beginning and love nurturing new writing talent — from query to deal, from first publication to full-fledged writing career. We’re delighted to help our authors find their ideal publishing partner and reach as many readers as possible — in 2021, WME books debuted on the New York Times bestseller list 91 times, 19 at #1; we closed over 1,000 publishing deals in the US, UK, and in over 50 languages around the world.

Alongside literary representation, WME authors have career-building opportunities at their fingertips — whether they be speaking opportunities via WME’s Harry Walker Agency, film and television adaptation via our literary media department, or podcast ambitions with our digital department. We meet our clients’ big dreams with the expertise and passion to make them happen.

We’re so glad you’re here with us — we can’t wait to read your story.
