Literary Agent

I'm completely clueless when it comes to writing, so finding a literary agent was like trying to color on copying paper with a white crayon. This was what I was looking for in an agent:

1. someone that takes new writers, of course. 
2. someone that gives information that can help writers become better writers 
3. someone that accepts science fiction work 
4. some that can market clients work and have a previous history of getting novels on the top seller list

DONALD MAASS LITERARY AGENCY

The first agency that I found is call the Donald Maass Literary Agency. I chose this agency because they love to have new writers send them novels. This agency seems to value writers. They offer workshops to writers that are in different areas in the U.S. They also inform people of the different "how to write" books that they have published. They have a twiter account that informs their follows what they are looking for that month, and they challenge their writers to come up with stories that follow their guidelines. I feel like this agency is a good stepping stone into writing fiction. They are really focused on new writers, and they are accepting science fiction at this moment!  Donald Maass Literary Agent

THE KNIGHT AGENCY

The Knight Agency is another agency that I have been looking at for the past week now. A lot of the piece that they publish are science fiction pieces. They have published works that have been on the best sellers list: including "90 Minutes in Heaven," which has been the number one best seller in New York for the bast five years. That being said, they do tend to favor non-fiction novels better, but they still encourage fiction. If I went with this agent, I would be less likely to get accepted because they get so many query letters and have little time to review them all. However, they seem to be great at marketing their clients work, which is great for new writers.  The Knight Agency   

STIMOLA LITERARY STUDIO

This is the literary agency that got "The Hunger Games" published. This agency is well known and get a lot of query letters a year. They only respond to the queries that they are interested in pursuing, so you might not even get a rejection letter from them. I like the fact that this agency would be able to further market my book, but they seem to be detached from the writer. They do accept science fiction piece, but I feel like they are not new writer friendly. I would, however, like to try sending a query letter to them. I don't know, maybe something will happen. Stimola Literary Studio
