Re: LTE 2.0
I don't know. When I flipped to the Publishers section, there were a LOT more publishers that do fantasy percentage-wise than agents. I'd say 1 out of every 6 or so publishers do fantasy. There are a LOT of fantasy and sci/fi novels on the shelves in bookstores these days.ArkieDukie wrote:Wild. Does that have something to do with market percentages? Just curious. I've never thought about such things.bjornolf wrote:I bought the 2010 Writer's Market, but out of 70+ agents listed in there, only 3 of them represent fantasy authors. How crazy is that?

Re: LTE 2.0
Could it be that fantasy has become available in video games? Or has given way to more sci-fi?

Re: LTE 2.0
I'm not a big reader at all, I used to be. BUT my wife and one stepson are both avid readers, and they love fantasy more than anything. When I met her she literally had a library of over 1000 books, all sci-fi and fantasy. She is addicted to Robert Jordan. They can't get you a book deal, but she can give you an honest assessment from a reader's point of view. (She is really great with that stuff, she is my personal art critic, and has prompted me to "fix" a few paintings for the better). Also, just because only 3 agents say fantasy, don't limit yourself. It won't hurt anything to at least contact some of the others.bjornolf wrote:Fantasy. Swords, Dragons, and wizards, that sort of thing.

Just looking through lists of agents and publishers right now. Unfortunately, NOBODY seems to want to represent fantasy these days.

I think today I am going to write a country song:
"The Dog is Drunk, and I am Horny"
Or maybe I'll just do some work around the house.

Re: LTE 2.0
Maybe so. Or maybe we could talk about Harrison Barnes or John Wall? That'll take all of 2 posts each (unlike the board over yonder). I start winding down my posting frequency tomorrow, as I have to turn in my modem.YmoBeThere wrote:With you over there Lavabe, maybe we should do a 24 hour post-a-thon?
Where's CaptainMojo? If he hears about John Wall, he'll be good for at least 4 hours of the postathon.
Cheers,

I popped out to the bar where my roommate works but it was dead (it is a long weekend up here) so I had one drink, talked to a couple of friends, and came home. I was in bed by 2:00-2:30 which is extremely rare for me on a Saturday night.
