If you check the Preditors and Editors site (http://www.invirtuo.cc/prededitors/) for agents, you will get a long list of agents, and for many of them, whether or not they are recommended. It would be worth your time just to research the ones that are recommended or highly recommended. But you must read carefully to see if they accept science fiction or fantasy. Look at what clients they have served before, and see if you know any of them. Also, if you look at some of your favorite science fiction and fantasy books at the acknowledgments, you might see them thanking their agent, who they will name. You can research them, too.
But you should write the book first before you worry about the agent. Keep some names in the back of your mind, but they aren't going to do you any good until you have a completed manuscript ready.
Agents usually want you to write a query letter first, proposing your idea and seeing if they are interested. Then they ask for cover letters, synopses, three chapters, etc. But good luck, and good job on getting nine chapters done! That's more than most people get done on their first book! << GO BACK to questions
