I am having trouble finding good sci fi literary agents online. Anyone have any good recommendations?

I've tried a few websites and even Writer's Market, which was not an updated version, but I'm on hold for the most recent copy. Are there any other web pages, books etc. that I can use to find a literary agent?

I've gone through all of the mainstream ones, about 30 of them, but at some point it just seems like I've completely exhausted the market. I don't have the time or the resources to self-publish, and it's a hassle going straight to publishers, any tips?

What are some great literary agents who like to get fiction books, about magic and action adventure type novels published. I'm looking for the best one for an idea I have. I'm only 16 though and have been writing since I was 10 and have gotten awards and praises. This is what I was meant for, please help me by listening literary agents and their contacts.

Can someone provide me with a list of good, trust-able literary agents for science fiction/fantasy authors?

I am trying to query some YA agents, and besides AgentQuery and PublishersMarketplace, I am having difficulty finding enough to query. My only guidelines for submitting at this point is that they HAVE to represent Young Adult Fiction (thats what genre my book is) and they HAVE to be an AAR member (i dont want to get scammed!) If anyone knows any other databases, lists, or just agents offhand.. that would be awesome.

I'm trying to get my finished novel published, and to do this I am trying to find an agent. But every time I look at an agents expectations, it doesn't say science fiction, it says literary/genre fiction or the like. Is this because all the agents I'm looking at don't like science fiction, or does science fiction fit into these categories?

I think i need an agent. Where should I look for bona fide agent?

Good day, web-surfers, I would love it if you could provide the names and websites of any reliable literary agents that would be interested in historical fiction, more specifically the colonization of England by the Vikings in the 800's and the Viking Age in general. I have a complete (albeit unedited) novel of 160,000 words just waiting to be published! Thank you in advance! /Jakob @Joss You seem like a horrible person, one not averse to insult and berate strangers. Do you not think I have researched? The book was finished roughly 6 months ago, and I have been going through it, emending ever since. I simply asked if anyone knew any certain agent(s) that had a particular interest in this topic since I have not found many that do. I am young, and English is not my first language, I am proud of my work and I do not need your asinine put-downs. Thou villain.

getting one? I sent out query letters to 8 places already. I realize it'll be awhile before I get responses for all of them since it's only been two months (at the most). But I'm anxious is there more I could be doing? don't misunderstand...he wrote the query letter but with both sending out info

UK based writer with several manuscripts also looking for publishers intested in short stories,inspirational poetry. Anyone read - Purple hibiscus by Chiamanda Adiche or Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe- anyone know of any publishers looking for a new African voice out there?

And are actively looking for authors?

I am interested in finding a Literary Agent for a Biblical Fiction book that I am writing. Can anyone give me any pointers for finding one? Biblical Fiction is different than Christian Fiction--my story is from the Old Testament, and is NOT evangelical. It has no Christian message, is merely the re-telling of a fairly unknown Biblical Story.

And I don't mean young writers with young adult or teen fiction; I mean young writers (under 18) with general, commercial and/or literary fiction. I know some agencies have contract issues with young writers, so help would be greatly appreciated, as I am doing a school project on publishing and literary agents.

Or do some new writers manage to get published WITHOUT an agent's help? PS. I should add here that I live in Australia...not sure if that makes much difference...

I am attempting to make a manuscript for a fiction novel and I want to know a good and acceptable manuscript format to send off to a literary agent. If anyone could help me that would be nice. I also heard it varies to which agent you send it off to. Please be detailed. The most detailed answer will get five stars!
