Well, I got an email response from Mr. Lewis after finding him through agentquery.com, who I believe are usually pretty good about standards. I see he's done a fair amount of ethnic stuff and he's made legitimate sales to several publishers... He's been around 6 years, which suggests to me that while he's been around for a decent amount of time he's also somewhat newish, and if he's an entertainment attorney rather than just an agent he may have divided his time a little bit.
He responded very quickly and enthusiastically to my query. Within an hour or two of sending it he requested to see the first chapter and then asked me to mail him the full ms. He said he loved the character already and thought that it read well, and he especially likes the breed of story that I wrote (fairy tales with strange, quirky twists). He said he would get back within 4 weeks.
While I'm aware that he has not specified in representing "fantasy," which this could be called, his enthusiasm and a decent track record have tempted me to accept that this may in fact be legit. I trust agentquery fairly well. And even though he's not a pure fantasy agent, well... my book isn't pure fantasy, either.
I don't know. Have you guys heard anything else about him?
