Literary Agents Representing Science Fiction and Fantasy

Share:

From old school greats like William Gibson and J.R.R. Tolkien to modern big names like J.K. Rowling and Suzanne Collins, Sci Fi and Fantasy have remained two of the most popular categories of genre fiction to date.

If you've written a Science Fiction or Fantasy manuscript, it is crucial that you query literary agents who are seeking submission in those genres. If you send out to an agent who doesn't accept these genres, they'll likely stop reading your query after the first sentence or two, because selling Sci-Fi and Fantasy requires specific contacts that not all agents have. 

WEbook's AgentInbox has 17 agents that specialize in Science Fiction and Fantasy novels. That means they've sold manuscripts in these genres, know tons of editors at different publishing houses, and they're looking for fresh authors to represent.

Literary Agents Representing Literary Fiction

Car chases, murder intrigue, and epic adventures are well and good, but sometimes it's nice to sit back and enjoy an old fashioned internal conflict: A man at odds with the modern world (Ulysses), a house-wife smoldering beneath a loveless marriage (Little Children), or maybe just a group of ex-pats wandering listlessly from one European city to the next, searching for meaning amidst their memories of war (The Sun Also Rises).

If you've written a literary novel, you'll need an agent who's familiar with the terrain to help you on your path to publication. WEbook's AgentInbox has 38 literary agents currently seeking literary fiction. That means they have established relationships with literary editors (think Knopf or Grove Atlantic), and they're looking for more writing to pitch to them.

The world of Romance fiction is constantly growing. From paranormal stories filled with vampires and werewolves to historical yarns rife with imperious governors and strong-willed maidens, readers love their love stories.
