Greetings fellow literary travelers and welcome to new subscribers,

Today’s post is May’s list of agents currently open to queries. A preview of last month’s is accessible here. These posts, with few exceptions, are the only ones with a paywall.

If you missed it a couple of months back, a writer and artist residencies list is accessible here.

Before the agent list, a few submission alerts:

1. Short story collection contest: $1,000 and publication by BOA Editions for a short story collection each year. Press editor Peter Conners will judge. Deadline is May 31. Entry fee: $30.

2. Essay contest: $1,500 and publication in Michigan Quarterly Review for an essay or a work of nonfiction in hybrid form. All entries are considered for publication. Deadline is May 31. Entry fee: $20.

3. Poetry collection contest: $3,000, publication by Tupelo Press, and 20 author copies for a first or second poetry collection. All entries are considered for publication. Final judge is Carolyn Forché. Deadline is May 31. Entry fee: $30.

Monthly and annual subscriptions to Bookish are currently 25% off.
A tutorial on the agent query letter is accessible here.
