Collapse section Fiction Open In fiction, Ben is a devoted fan of science fiction, horror, and fantasy, always on the lookout for original worlds, tightly woven plots, and voices from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds. He believes in the power of speculative fiction to reflect and reimagine our reality, and he’s eager to discover authors who push the boundaries of the genre. At the moment he is particularly looking for upmarket body horror, book club friendly science fiction and fantasy (although will happily take a look at more genre focused books), time travel and would love to see a really inventive fantasy epic. He has recently enjoyed The Ministry of Time, Piranesi, Gideon the Ninth. He is a romantic at heart and wants to see love triumph over all (he secretly re-reads Lani Taylor’s books at regular intervals). He is actively looking for submissions in these areas so please send him your all your best ideas!Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Subgenre: Crime 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: Email.

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.
