Hi there. I'm new and have read so many threads and comments in the forum already. I was encouraged to join by another member, and it was suggested to specifically check out the Bewares area, as I've started querying for my manuscript.
A bit about myself... I like to read young adult novels, especially those written in present tense (eg: Divergent, Hunger Games).
I've written my own YA novel, and now I'm learning more about agents, literary agencies, and the whole query process.
I love science and enjoy finding ways to include it in my work. I'm glad to see more female protagonists, especially those who are intelligent and use science, technology, engineering, or math in their daily lives.
Questions:
1. I would like to know if there is a list of reputable literary agencies and agents. Searching each one at a time is a long and tedious process. It would help to narrow them down.
2. Is there a simple way to search up an agent or literary agency to see if they are on Santa's Naughty List? So far, I've been trying to search for each one individually under Writer Beware and a Google search, but it would be great if there was a way to make this process simpler. I'm new and learning, so please let me know if there's an easier way.
Thanks so much!
