You Have Questions — We Build Careers.
We work with debut and international bestselling authors. The world is our market.
With over 40 titles sold in more than 60 countries, our work speaks across borders and genres. Some of our clients are just beginning their publishing journeys. Others are award-winners and chart-toppers. We represent stories with reach and writers with purpose.
What types of books do you represent?
We represent books that stay with you—fiction and nonfiction that are immersive, meaningful, and market-aware. Our list includes commercial and literary fiction, suspense, memoir, inspirational nonfiction, true crime, and select books for children and young adults.

We are proud members of the Association of American Literary Agents (AALA), dedicated to upholding professional ethics and promoting industry transparency.
What do you do?
We pitch. We protect. We guide. We partner.
At AKA Literary, we represent your work to editors, publishers, and co-agents. We help develop proposals, edit manuscripts, negotiate contracts, and secure deals across multiple rights channels—from print and digital to foreign, audio, and visual media.
Founder Terrie Wolf—named Agent of the Year by the American Christian Fiction Writers—has spent decades in the media and publishing industries. She speaks regularly at respected writing conferences and works closely with authors at every stage of their careers.
Do you work with new authors?
Absolutely. Some of our proudest moments began with an unknown name and a brilliant manuscript. If you’re serious about turning your craft into a career—and ready to do the work—we’re here to help you navigate the road ahead.
I am a fiction writer. What are you looking for?
Fiction that grabs us—through voice, tension, and emotional pull. We love stories with stakes, characters that breathe, and writing that makes us forget we’re working. Whether it’s upmarket, commercial, genre-blending, or something unexpected, we’re looking for stories we feel.
I am a nonfiction writer. What do you look for?
Credibility. Perspective. Urgency.
We’re drawn to nonfiction projects that inform, inspire, or challenge—written by authors who know their subject and understand their audience. A strong platform is helpful, but a strong message is essential. If your work contributes something meaningful to the conversation, we want to hear it.
A Boutique Agency with Global Reach
With more than 40 published titles in over 60 countries, our work travels. Our authors have been recognized by Publishers Weekly, Writer’s Digest, the Military Writers Society of America, and more.
We believe in forming lasting partnerships, driving strategic growth, and harnessing the power of compelling stories to transcend borders and break down barriers. At AKA Literary, we don’t just sell books. We build careers.
