About

Alicia Tan is an agent at Triangle House Literary, as well as a writer and an editor. She has worked in publishing and media for over a decade, including at HarperCollins, Abrams Books, The TODAY Show, and BuzzFeed. She received an MFA in fiction from Oklahoma State University and a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Missouri. She was born and raised in Texas but has also called New York, Missouri, and Oklahoma home.

Alicia is seeking voice-driven literary fiction with complicated characters and singular prose, as well as narrative and idea-driven nonfiction, including cultural criticism, personal essays and memoir, and longform journalism. She's also interested in hybrid, genre-bending, and experimental forms. Above all, she’s excited by writing that reframes how we see or live in the world, interrogates norms and subverts expectations in style and content, and reminds us that we are alive and human.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the agent or agency being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
