Kodie Van Dusen An agent with The Rights Factory (see other agents at this agency). About Kodie Van Dusen is a published author and has worked with The Rights Factory since 2023. She is a sucker for well-structured stories that contain hints of the whimsical, the horrific, and the absurd, favoring authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, and George Orwell who have something reflective and important to say about the nature of humanity. Country Canada AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed In adult fiction she will consider: absurdism, upmarket horror (strong literary themes with accessible commercial hook and structure), science-fiction (think more Douglas Adams and Ted Chiang, less Frank Herbert). However, more important than genre is that authors understand what they’re trying to say with their stories and make a strong philosophical point, demonstrating a fundamental understanding of story structure.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.Genres: General Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Absurdist, 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.
