WOLF LITERARY SERVICES

is a literary agency and legal consulting company, established in 2008, and located in New York City.

At Wolf Literary, we believe that great representation is integral to an enduring career. On the agency side, our team brings decades of experience across multiple facets of publishing, and beyond. We are creative, collaborative, and strategic, working with our clients across all aspects of their literary careers. We support writers throughout the publication process: from editorial development to brokering the book deal with a perfectly matched publisher, through publicity and publication, and representing translation rights, audio, and film, all while negotiating industry-leading contracts. At Wolf Literary, we specialize in a hands-on, career-focused approach that goes beyond a writer’s first book—we help clients achieve their long-term goals.

Our legal and financial consulting division, unique among literary agencies, puts us at the forefront of current issues in publishing. Kirsten Wolf, Esq., an attorney with close to two decades’ experience in the publishing industry, heads the consulting division, working with a varied and ever-growing list of literary agencies, publishers, and independent artists. We have extensive experience with a full complement of publishing and publishing-adjacent agreements, including international book contracts, collaboration agreements, book-to-film options, and much more.

Wolf Literary books and authors are original, entertaining, and engaged. We represent forward-thinking nonfiction from experts, academics, and journalists; illuminating illustrated books from industry-leading chefs, bloggers, and influencers; and innovative, page-turning fiction. We hope that, through escape, education, or inspiration, every Wolf Lit title will alter the way its readers see the world.
