Apologies in advance if this is in a thread someplace, but I cannot find it.
Which NY agencies are generally viewed as the top for novels? Thanks.

Many. William Morris, Writers House, Donald Maass are the ones that immediately came to me. Then there's ICM, Trident Media - and many more.
There's no truly right answer to that question. For one, it depends on your genre. A house that is brilliant for the quality of its fantasy fiction may not have a clue how to sell to Christian publishers.

That's what I was thinking of with my answer; those being the ones that were at the top of my own list.

Even commercial fiction's really broad. Each of those agencies Aruna mentioned has agents to cover almost every genre. What I did when looking for an agent was hit www.agentquery.com and after I'd searched for my genre, I googled the agent's name to track down their sales record.

NY agents
I'd say at least 95% of the top agents live either in New York or Hollywood, with the vast majority of fiction agents being in New York. or within spitting distance.

That's between me and the squirrels, but let's just say I hope the nth dimension has a good veterinarian.
You have them reading the slush and sending out form rejections, don't you?
Poor squirrels with little papercuts all over them.
Uh oh! I think I would keep them away from the paper. Nth dimension squirrels tend to fall easily into blood frenzies...
I mean, did you seriously think the original Roanoke colony was lost to natives? Nope, frenzied flesh-eating nth-dimension squirrels...

This is hilarious.
Now I gotta go look out for those Nth-dimension squirrels...maybe I'll buy a Nth dimension cat.How was your experience with Richard Curtis? (Does anyone else have past experience with this agent?)
