Hi Gang,
I just thought I’d mention that I’m looking for an agent for my new novel ‘TimeSplash!’ and ask whether anyone has a recommendation. It’s a sci-fi thriller – and possibly YA (I can never tell – all I know is that my protagonists are in their late teens.)
I wrote to Tara Wynne, by the way, to see if she was interested. She said she liked it but was only taking on work she absolutely loved at the moment since she’s off to have a baby in a few weeks’ time!!
Anyone else I should try (who isn’t pregnant)?
Hi Graham,
get a recent copy of Locus magazine and see who is selling what to whom agent-wise in the US and UK. There are very few agents in Oz and even fewer who will look at SF because it’s hard to place. (You could try Sophie Hamley at Cameron Cresswell.)
Jabberwocky Agency in US springs to mind for SF thriller. Most take email enquiries.

Thanks, Marianne. I’ve already got an enquiry out to Sophie Hamley at Cameron Cresswell. I’ll get a copy of Locus and look into Jabberwocky too – the name sounds promising
Cheers,
Graham.
