Applications are closed for the 2023 Fellowship program! We look forward to reopening in 2024.

Fellowship Program

Our summer fellowship program thoughtfully matches college students from diverse backgrounds and historically underrepresented groups with a literary agency and Association of American Literary Agents (AALA) member, and Literary Agents of Change provides a grant directly to the student for their participation. 


Over ten weeks, from June through August, fellows learn the inner workings of the industry and receive direct support from a supervisor to understand the role a literary agent plays in the publishing process and develop the skills that will help them succeed. Literary Agents of Change hosts a slate of programming over the course of the summer to further fellows’ access to networking, mentorship, and educational panels that will cover the publishing industry as a whole.


AALA members are encouraged to sign up to host our fellows.

More Events

I came in not really knowing what agenting was, and if I would like it, and came out really loving the profession.


2022 Fellow

This experience empowered me to have confidence in my editorial abilities.


2022 Fellow

It was an amazing experience that I know we’d love to be a part of again...Our whole agency feels lucky to have worked with [our Fellow]. She was great. We look forward to her joining our industry.


2022 Host Agency

It was helpful to take a step back from the standard internship program that we run and really think about how it was benefiting our interns.
