Very Impressed with the spirit of generosity in sharing information displayed in these posts.

I just registered on PM and wow, is that ever a helpful insight into the publishing world. My previous experience has been from the buyers and marketing side, going to ABA conventions with my dad as a kid. And snagging all the free loot I could.

Evan Goldfried is actively looking for new clients. If you Google Evan Goldfried Writing Raw, you'll see a recent interview that tells how to contact him and what he's looking for in fantasy and sci-fi. He made a big deal in late September for a new UF series at auction.

A newer agent: Susan Hawk of the Bent Agency

dakota · Dec 4, 2009

On Jenny Bent's blog, she writes that Susan is only accepting queries in YA and middle grade. She says including fantasy was a mistake and that she will be changing the website to reflect that. Just wanted to give a heads up.

The Rappaport Agency is closing

Damn economy. I just got a rejection from them too.

The Grump · Dec 10, 2009

On an other more positive note, Rappaport's joining the us in the trenches. ... Or is that the opposite?

mike w · Dec 10, 2009

Wow . . . all of you guys rock! . . . learning lots, and learning there's a lot more to learn.

I've started compiling my own list

in the hopes of saving other aspiring fantasy authors some time. You can find it at my blog:

http://friendsinfantasy.blogspot.com/

Everyone listed on there is 100% legit and accepts equeries. I'll be adding more as I slog through my own process.

Evol-Thanks for the public spirit!
Are you aware of the following resources?

AgentQuery
Preditors & Editors

evol_reed · Jan 21, 2010

I am

but I was hoping to save folks some time. I've spent countless hours combing through forum postings/agent query/etc, cross-checking references and whatnot. I had a friend who got burned by a shady agent so I am extra careful. I just figured I'd put it out there in case it could help somebody.

waylander · Jan 22, 2010

I note that you list Lush Literary on the blog.
According to the thread in B+BC they have not yet made any sales. Are you sure they deserve a place on your list?

evol_reed · Jan 22, 2010

I just saw today they still haven't made any sales. You're right, I'll remove them, and thanks.

jenniferfields10 · Jan 24, 2010

I just found the most awesome website for just your situation. http://querytracker.net/ At querytracker.net, you can customize your search and keep track of queries sent, as well as any responses you receive. Good luck. It's an exciting time for you.

Falen · Jan 28, 2010

I was also going to throw in Query Tracker - it's very similar to AgentQuery so you should be fine using either

xtine · Feb 7, 2010

wonderful blog! Thanks Evol!
