For authors, AALA provides a searchable database of members for writers seeking representation. Members represent agents in all areas of the publishing process, handling the sale of rights through publication, and helping their clients develop successful publishing careers. Authors can be confident that our agents pledge to follow the highest standards of professional conduct in serving the needs of their clients. Members must agree to adhere to the Association of American Literary Agents’ Bylaws and Canon of Ethics.
For members, AALA regularly holds panels, educational programs, and social events. Our committees meet monthly to discuss important issues and prepare alerts and announcements on the latest industry developments in areas such as contracts, royalties, and legal practices. AALA serves as the hub for the literary agent community and is a valuable resource for information and networking.
Learn more about AALA and how we support literary agents to better serve authors with integrity and excellence. Membership is open to all professionals working at literary agencies.
