| Re: "Personal" question(s) to John Jarrold Yes, I know. But dealing with SFF doesn't necessarily mean regularly pulling new writers from the slush pile. For example, I looked at the client list of an agent working for one of the very big agencies, and she had a very well known U.S. author on her list, but no other SFF writers. She would be representing that author because her agency does the U.K. work for his U.S. agency. As she's got him, perhaps she's considered to be their chief SFF agent, which doesn't bode well for unpublished writers hopefully submitting to them on the grounds that, technically yes, they do deal in SFF! |
