Coverage

Poets & Writers maintains one of the most comprehensive databases of literary market information in the United States:

  • ~230 literary agents
  • ~155 literary magazines
  • ~235 small presses
  • ~45 writing contests and grants

Full crawl typically completes in 15-30 minutes depending on the record types selected.

Notes

  • No account or API key required — all data is publicly accessible on pw.org.
  • Respectful crawling — the actor uses low concurrency to avoid overloading pw.org's servers.
  • Data reflects the current state of the pw.org directory at the time of the run. Agents, submission windows, and deadlines change frequently — re-run regularly for up-to-date results.
