Country United States AI Policy Unknown AI policy Statistics Synopsis Slower Amelia Appel's overall average response time is slower than most agents. Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed She is looking for compelling adult literary fiction that features a distinctive voice and delves into intricate relationships, alongside engaging mysteries with clever whodunits (extra points for playful, confined settings), twisty thrillers that build suspense (avoiding cop protagonists), and upmarket women’s fiction where traditional marriage and family themes aren't the focus. She is also open to fresh perspectives in science fiction (no space operas), fantasy, magical realism, horror, and graphic novels. While she isn't the best fit for your typical romance, she is open to rom-coms, romantasy, and stories where the romance is an added element to the main plot as opposed to the driving force.For young adult, she craves narratives that blend light and dark elements, focusing on protagonists who are driven to change. She's also excited to see smart rom-coms and stories highlighting growth in platonic relationships.

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.
