Country United States AI Policy Unknown AI policy Statistics Synopsis Regular Speed Sarah Fuentes's overall average response time is within a normal range for agents. Collapse section Fiction Open In fiction, she’s attracted to novels that explore the inner workings of relationships and immerse readers in the messy minds of their characters. She looks for writing that’s intimate but urgent—psychologically sharp, emotionally charged, and propelled by real narrative momentum. She loves a bit of dark humor, a speculative edge, and a feast of ideas beneath the surface, and is as taken by a big, boisterous voice as much as controlled, crystalline prose that’s quietly cutting. She’s especially interested in stories that wrestle with class, gender and sexuality, identity, and power in all its forms. Some of her favorite writers include Katie Kitamura, Julia Armfield, Natasha Brown, Julia May Jonas, Jen Beagin, Marie-Helene Bertino, David Szalay, and Yael van der Wouden.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.

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.
