What the title says.
Is it really dead and gone for the moment, as in 2018? Anybody writing dystopians/post apocalyptic? Anybody querying it right now? What are your thoughts on it?
A similar thread was posted in 2015 by someone else but I'm asking again because it's been a long time and I was wondering because I have an MS that can probably be classified as post apocalyptic. I wrote it because it was fun to write, I wasn't exactly going to query it, but then I decided to go with that. Turns out nobody is explicitly seeking dystopians (i.e. agents don't ask for it on their web pages - was it ever a thing?). Has it always been like this or was it the dystopian explosion that caused it? I thought maybe it was always like this because dystopian is not exactly a genre in itself (not sure about it) and might come under the umbrella of SF.
If so, can I submit the MS to an agent who does not exactly say s/he is looking for post apocalyptic fiction?
Thoughts?
