Country United States AI Policy Unknown AI policy Statistics Synopsis Slower Alex Reubert's overall average response time is slower than most agents. Collapse section Fiction Open Alex is pursuing books that, either by style or story, demand he keep reading. He loves literature in translation, novels set outside the U.S., and stories that offer the reader a new or unconventional way of seeing. Novels that skew upmarket and literary are welcome, as are any narrators looking back and trying to make sense of their life. And if you happen to have an upmarket romantic comedy, please, he'd love to read it.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.Genres: General Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: QueryTracker.

Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
