Yesterday I started seriously sending out queries. Scary. It’s not even that I’m devastated when I get a rejection. I’m not, really. It’s more worry that all I’ll get is rejections. You only need one yes, but what if it doesn’t come?
I have quite an extensive list of agents who represent young adult authors, and who don’t specifically state they won’t accept fantasy. My question to all of you is: What names do you have of agents in this category. I’ve looked at all the websites and data bases. I’ve checked books I like and found who their agents are, and yet I still find names I’ve never heard of before. I’d love anyone’s input. Even smaller agents or newer agents would be fine. (Sometimes they’re the best because they’re still building a client list.)
And thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
I am new to writing fantasy (urban fantasy, at that), so I don’t have advice for you on agents. You seem to be doing all the right things by checking out the agent listings on authorial-type websites. Have you looked at individual agency websites? They usually have a whole lot of valuable submission info.
I do love your Progress widgets in the sidebar. What kind of widget is it? I’d love to get one for my site.
Thanks,
KJ

I don’t have any agents’ names I can share. I just wanted to say that I have my fingers crossed for you!
