Country United States AI Policy Unknown AI policy Statistics Synopsis Slower Reeves Hamilton's overall average response time is slower than most agents. Fiction Open Reeves Hamilton is seeking science fiction, from hard SF and space opera to the weird and speculative and difficult to describe, as long as these stories entertain while interrogating something at humanity’s core. He’s also looking for speculative literary fiction that’s brilliantly written and speaks to our current political moment, like Zachary C. Solomon’s A Brutal Design. Viciously funny satire that points and jokes at American hypocrisy is always welcome, like Dennard Dayle’s Everything Abridged and the upcoming How to Dodge a Cannonball. He would also love to see more literary fiction that is unapologetically antiracist, antifascist, or anticapitalist, and written with the razor-sharp precision of Rachel Cusk or Jessi Jezewska Stevens. Politically radical and underrepresented voices are always welcome. He is not seeking fantasy, YA, children’s, or romance projects.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.Genres: General Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Alternate History, Dystopian, Hard Science Fiction, Space OperaLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics including...

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.
