Fantasy Fiction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years fantasy fiction has become one of the cornerstones of the book market. This competitive genre is brimming with big-selling fantasy novels. You only need to look at the fantasy fiction shelf in your local bookstore or the best seller list on Amazon to see authors like China Mieville, Neil Gaiman, and Iain Banks lining the charts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although fantasy has always been a popular genre, the nature of the genre means that we will continue to see new and fresh story ideas published. Think YA fantasy series A Court of Thorns and Roses<\/em> by Sarah J Maas or Neil Gaiman\u2019s short story piece Fragile Things<\/em> to name a few. Its flexibility means that authors can continually explore their characters and the world they have created to the extremes. No book idea is the same.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure your fantasy novel stands out from the slushpile try reading this article on world-building.<\/a> You\u2019ll also find this article on how to write a fantasy novel<\/a> useful, too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a demanding, and often saturated, market there are still plenty of agents looking for the next big fantasy novel or series. Before querying your shortlist, make sure your opening chapters are perfect and your submission pack is tailored to your chosen agent. With such a popular genre the standard for submissions will be high, so don\u2019t waste your opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgentMatch And How To Use It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each profile has been researched thoroughly including what agents like to read in their spare time, information on their most recent deals, manuscript wishlists, submission requirements, and exclusive interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
