Agents for fantasy/speculative

by Kenneth Lanyon

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a way to filter the literary agent listings to show/prioritise agents who accept fantasy/speculative fiction? Or do I need to simply scroll through the list?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that was my initial plan. I wonder if I made a mistake just subscribing to the website, and whether my money would have been better spent buying the book. Thanks for your response.

What I do, and I think this may apply to most genres, is look though the pages of the W&A Yearbook (obviously making sure it is the latest copy) and mark with a soft pencil any Agents that look likely. The soft pencil is so the marks can easily be rubbed out – for when I go into the book for another session!

The pencil markings mean I can easily go backwards and forwards until I have narrowed my search.

Of course, you may be looking for something that doesn’t exist, but by using my method you will soon find out.

If you find Agents that appear to be suitable, then look them up via your search engine. Ideally, what you are seeking to do is target the perfect one (or two or three).
