Science Fiction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The science fiction market remains as varied as it has always been, with plenty of international (and commercial) appeal. Although you can still write classic space opera and find an eager adult or young adult market for it, there has been an increased interest in seeing more dystopia, genre collisions, and intelligent idea-driven fiction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a genre, science fiction remains rich. You can even argue that literary novelists like Margaret Atwood and David Mitchell have published science-fiction novels. George Orwell and Aldous Huxley are certainly renowned for their sci-fi masterpieces. While authors like Iain Banks and China Mieville, who aren\u2019t traditionally considered as literary novelists, have produced some excellent examples of challenging, bold, and thoughtful fiction.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the science-fiction market is so rich and deeply varied, it\u2019s important to ask yourself: \u2018am I really writing science fiction?\u2019  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A near-future thriller about an as-yet-undiscovered virus could well market itself more accurately as a techno-thriller and be suitable for crime and thriller agents and editors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An intelligent novel, like David Mitchell\u2019s Cloud Atlas<\/em>, is probably better sold as literary fiction, no matter whether or not it uses sci-fi ideas and techniques.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever your story, there\u2019s sure to be an agent out there who can\u2019t wait to read it. So, where to begin?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
