Brady McReynolds

An agent with JABberwocky Literary Agency, Inc. (see other agents at this agency).

About

Brady is the C.O.O of the JABberwocky Literary Agency, and works closely with Joshua to manage the day-to-day operations of the business and its employees in addition to his work as a literary agent. He was brought on in 2012 as the Foreign Rights Manager after having worked in the publicity department of Penguin’s Berkley and NAL imprints. Before then he interned at Algonquin Books in Chapel Hill, NC.

Growing up in rural Georgia and North Carolina, he started reading books (especially science-fiction and fantasy) at an early age because there was little else to do. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he double majored in Communication Studies and Sociology. An avid Tarheel basketball fan, Brady loves only lighter shades of blue and goes into seclusion every March.

Fiction Temp Closed

Science-Fiction (adult): Space opera in the vein of Ian M. Banks’ Culture series and Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation trilogy, military SF like Jack Campbell’s the Lost Fleet, thrillers like Mur Lafferty’s Six Wakes, and near-future tales like Liu Cixin’s Three Body Problem. Other favorites include: the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells and Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Fantasy (adult): Cozy fantasy like Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree, sweeping historical sagas such as Babel by R.R. Kuang, and grim-dark tales like Joe Abercrombie’s The Heroes. I prefer secondary worlds in the vein of The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin, complex magic systems (a la Brandon Sanderson), epic fantasy (both with or without a strong romantic edge), fairy tale/myth re-tellings (especially from non-western cultures), and more literary works such as The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez.

Speculative Fiction (adult): Similar to the SF/F above, I am always interested in stories that contain elements of the fantastic and far-flung but that might not fit neatly into those categories. MJ Wassmer’s Zero Stars: Do Not Recommend and Adam Oyebanji’s Esperance are good examples of those sorts of stories; as well as flat-out “new weird” stories like Borne by Jeff VanderMeer.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. 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.
