Scott Eagan is a romance-specialist agent at Greyhaus Literary Agency with a sharply defined focus on category romance and women's fiction, making them one of the few agents whose entire practice is built around the commercial romance market.
In brief
Scott Eagan runs a boutique practice at Greyhaus Literary Agency that is almost exclusively devoted to category romance and women's fiction — a rare, highly specialized focus in today's agenting landscape.
As of late May 2026, the submission form is closed — writers should check the live form before querying, as this status may shift.
A July 2025 public signal shows active, specific interest in Harlequin Presents-line stories: powerful CEO pairings written as enemies-to-lovers, or sapphic royal narratives centered on a queen-to-be — indicating Eagan tracks imprint guidelines closely and wants work that is submission-ready.
The specificity of Eagan's wishlist signals — naming exact imprint lines, character archetypes, and relationship dynamics — means vague or genre-blended pitches are unlikely to succeed; writers who have done their Presents-line homework will stand out immediately.
Greyhaus has a long-stated policy of representing only romance and women's fiction; this is not an agent to query with thrillers, literary fiction, or any other genre in hopes of a surprise fit.
Lately
Greyhaus is actively looking for stories built to fit the Presents line — and they must be polished and ready to submit now. Two specific concepts are wanted: an enemies-to-lovers story pairing two powerful CEO characters, and a sapphic royal romance featuring a queen-to-be. Writers are firmly directed to read the imprint's guidelines before submitting rather than guessing at what fits.
What Scott is looking for
Eagan is actively hunting for manuscripts that fit the Presents imprint formula and are polished enough to go out immediately — no development projects. Two specific angles are on the radar right now: an enemies-to-lovers dynamic anchored by two powerful CEO characters, and a sapphic royal romance built around a queen-to-be. Reading the imprint's submission guidelines before pitching is treated as non-negotiable.
Beyond Presents specifically, Eagan's practice centers on category romance across its major lines. Stories must be written to fit an identifiable line's conventions in terms of length, heat level, and character dynamics — not simply 'short romance.' Writers should be able to name which line their manuscript targets.
Women's fiction with strong emotional throughlines and a clearly commercial sensibility is within scope. This is a secondary focus relative to category romance, and Eagan's bar for what qualifies as women's fiction (versus romance with a female protagonist) is likely precise — the emotional journey of the protagonist, not a romantic relationship, should be the engine of the story.

How to query Scott
Confirm the submission form is open before doing anything else — it was closed as of late May 2026 and may reopen without broad announcement.
Read the target imprint's official guidelines before writing a single word of your query. Eagan explicitly rejects guessing — your pitch must demonstrate you know exactly which line you are writing for and why your manuscript fits its parameters.
Name the specific line your manuscript is written for (e.g. Presents) and state the word count, heat level, and core relationship dynamic upfront. Eagan needs to assess line-fit instantly.
If you are pitching a Presents-style story, make the power dynamic and the conflict between your protagonists the center of your pitch — these structural elements are what the line runs on.
For sapphic or LGBTQ+ romance, the royal/status-driven framing Eagan named suggests they respond to high-stakes external pressure shaping the internal romance; build that tension into your synopsis.
Do not pitch a manuscript that is not fully complete and polished. Eagan's own language — 'ready to go now' — signals they will not take on projects that need significant revision before submission.
Greyhaus represents only category romance and women's fiction. If your manuscript blends genres or sits outside those lanes, do not query regardless of quality.
