The Cynthia Cannell Literary Agency is a full-service literary agency in New York City active in both the national and the international publishing markets. We represent the authors of literary fiction as well as memoir, biography, historical fiction, popular science, self-improvement, spirituality, and nonfiction on contemporary issues.

Our authors are united by their high level of creativity, integrity and seriousness of purpose.  We are committed to working closely with them to help bring their books into being, from the sharpening of the proposal to the marketing of the finished work. We pride ourselves in the personal attention we provide to our authors, and in the depth of knowledge and the presence in the publishing industry that enables us to guide them through every stage of their writing careers.
