This url to a site that contains several tools was given to me by an agent who rejected my Query but was human enough to make several suggestions, one being a link to Absolute Write. I have yet to explore the Agent specific tool, so I can not speak to its positive or negative aspects. I do intend to register on the site today. www.QueryTracker.net (A database of agents)
MG, YA, and some women's fiction across many genres including science fiction and fantasy. Worth following on social media to narrow down what she's currently seeking. Doesn't appear interested in that much adult SFF.
SF/F is a specialised market. Agents need to know the editors and also to have read enough to know when something is new and different. Many general literature agents do not have this background; if an agent does not specifically say so I would conclude they do not handle SF/F. The agents listed here say they are interested in receiving SF/F.
The problem I keep seeing is agents claiming they want SFF...but closer research shows they only want a narrow subset: YA instead of Adult, contemporary settings instead of secondary world, magic realism instead of high fantasy, 'no space operas', etc.
So it's worth the effort to really stalk an agent's social media, interviews, existing authors, etc. to pin down exactly what they mean by 'science fiction and fantasy'.
Hey Pete! I have Red Sofa shortlisted on my "agencies I like" list because Laura mentions the Mako Mori test. I'm going to add your endorsement for Jennie to the list. Thanks for the info!
