If you check the Preditors and Editors site (http://www.invirtuo.cc/prededitors/) for agents, you will get a long list of agents, and for many of them, whether or not they are recommended. It would be worth your time just to research the ones that are recommended or highly recommended. But you must read carefully to see if they accept science fiction or fantasy. Look at what clients they have served before, and see if you know any of them. Also, if you look at some of your favorite science fiction and fantasy books at the acknowledgments, you might see them thanking their agent, who they will name. You can research them, too.
But you should write the book first before you worry about the agent. Keep some names in the back of your mind, but they aren’t going to do you any good until you have a completed manuscript ready.
Agents usually want you to write a query letter first, proposing your idea and seeing if they are interested. Then they ask for cover letters, synopses, three chapters, etc. But good luck, and good job on getting nine chapters done! That’s more than most people get done on their first book!
what is the bets science fiction and fantasy literary agents?
hi my name is wesley and i am in the propose of writing a book and i have writen 9 chapters i whould like to get it published but i do not know how to go abuot doing it if somone can help me it whould bet apreshated
Unfortunately, no one on here seems to know anything about anything….but “Twilight!!!”
Sorry, sister. I know nothing either.
Does anyone know of any fantasy/fiction literary agents?
I’ve gone through all of the mainstream ones, about 30 of them, but at some point it just seems like I’ve completely exhausted the market.
I don’t have the time or the resources to self-publish, and it’s a hassle going straight to publishers, any tips?
Can anyone suggest a good literary agent who works with fiction/fantasy?
Preferably a member of the AAR. Someone efficient, knowledgeable, honest and committed.
When a Literary Agent refers to Commercial and Literary Fiction does this include Fantasy?
Science fiction/Fantasy Literary Agents?
Can someone provide me with a list of good, trust-able literary agents for science fiction/fantasy authors?
Yes, I agree with Colin. Technically fantasy is commerical fiction, but most agents who rep fantasy will specifically say they want fantasy.
That doesn’t mean you can’t give the agent who wants commercial fiction a shot, assuming their guidelines don’t specifically say they’re not interested in fantasy. But it does mean you shouldn’t expect a request for more from them (of course this is true for all agents, but you know what I mean.)
