Meg Wheeler

An agent with Westwood Creative Artists (see other agents at this agency).

About

I have the best job at WCA, in my humble opinion – Literary Agent and International Rights Director. I get to work closely with my agent colleagues to represent WCA’s authors in the international marketplace while simultaneously growing my own list of authors and helping them build their careers. It’s the best of two worlds and allows me to work collaboratively with everyone at WCA – and it keeps me on my toes, with no two days being the same. Because I wear more than one hat, I’m sometimes slower to respond to queries than I’d like to be (I’m a work in progress!). Thank you for trusting me with your submissions.

I can be found cuddled up with my dogs, watching the Toronto Sceptres or Blue Jays, cooking and baking and eating, camping, swimming, listening to a podcast or audiobook, or, most likely of all, watching entirely too much TV (Great British Bake Off is my comfort watch).

This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 180 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Collapse section Fiction Open

Literary fiction (think big, sweeping narratives and multigenerational sagas that span locations and time like Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing or Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life), upmarket book club fiction that doesn’t shy away from tough subjects (think anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid or Marian Keyes), crime novels (please no police officer protagonists), thrillers (like In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware), mysteries (think Thomas King’s DreadfulWater series), historical fiction (think The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, The Toss of a Lemon by Padma Viswanathan, or Washington Black by Esi Edugyan) and romcoms (à la Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan or The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary). I love humour and I love a speculative or magical element (think The Centaur’s Wife by Amanda Leduc or Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel) though I am not the agent for science fiction or fantasy. I’m also not the right agent for poetry or erotica.

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.
