Science fiction and fantasy never go out of style, so if you write in either of these genres, you are in luck.
Here is a list of reputable agents who represent fantasy and/or science fiction novels.
Here is a list of reputable agents who represent fantasy and/or science fiction novels.
Please note: When there are several agents in one agency accepting SF/F, only query ONE of them. Read the agents' bios to determine which agent will be the best fit for your work, and tailor your query to that agent's interests. Make sure to use the agent's name in your salutation. (Not "Dear Agent.")
As always, read the submissions policy carefully. Guidelines can change and agents may close their lists or switch agencies.
