Crime, Thriller, And Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crime and thriller <\/a>is one of the most enduringly popular genres of all time, from Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to Gillian Flynn, Stephen King, and our very own Harry Bingham. Readers have always loved reading about crime and mystery, whether it\u2019s more psychological and full of suspense, a police procedural drama, or full of gore and death.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These stories have always captivated us as readers and remain one of the most popular genres. Because of this, it\u2019s important to make sure your book is unique and stands out. Crossover novels can be incredibly successful, whether you\u2019re adding historical or speculative elements to your story, and this can help in creating that USP (Unique Selling Point) when approaching agents.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is make sure you have a polished manuscript and a standout submission pack. After that, you\u2019re ready to start doing your agent research and creating a shortlist. And that\u2019s where we come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgentMatch And How To Use It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of crime novel-loving agents, but you won’t want to approach them all. The best way to develop and refine your own shortlist of US agents for crime and thrillers is to visit AgentMatch<\/a>, our literary agent database, and use the search tools on the left to make your selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With AgentMatch you can select by genre (e.g. crime, thriller, and action), country, the agent\u2019s level of experience, their appetite for new clients, and much more. You can even save your search results and come back to them, allowing you to work through them one by one, at your own pace. Each profile has been researched thoroughly including what agents like to read in their spare time, information on their most recent deals, manuscript wishlists, submission requirements, and exclusive interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can sign-up for a 7-day free trial<\/a> which will give you a good feel for the data and functionality. Or join us<\/a> as a premium member and get unlimited access to AgentMatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
