I think some of the websites you mentioned are now in working condition (Wolf Lit, Spectrum), and I&#39;ve tried to update the links to the others you mentioned as not working or not receiving YA. Thanks for pointing those out!<br /><br />Some of the agents you mentioned (William Morris, Strothman Agency, Stuart Krichevsky) do in fact seem to be seeking YA spec fic, so I&#39;ve left those on the list. <br /><br />Sternig &amp; Byrne, from what I can tell is a legitimate albeit old-school agency with a track record of reputable sales. I&#39;ve linked to the subsection of their website that houses their literary agency branch. <br /><br />That said, your comment is a great reminder for all of us to do our research before submitting!! Agency preferences/websites change, and their submission windows close and open.<br /><br />Equally (if not more) important is to double check agency reputations on sites such as QueryTracker, Publishers Marketplace, Preditors and Editors, Writer Beware, Agent Query etc. My list is only a springboard for research, one starting point, not an endpoint!Carissa Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594436685900756259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124587072441332479.post-75569908388468440272013-02-06T23:39:29.409-08:002013-02-06T23:39:29.409-08:00Some possible updates readers might want to consid...Some possible updates readers might want to consider. I have been going up your topmost list of American agencies, I have not managed to check them all, but, all of the following are completely closed to queries at this time:<br /><br />Wolfson Literary Zachary Shuster Harmsworth<br />The Croce Agency<br /><br />Also note:<br />Spectrumliteraryagency.com is a 404 dead site.<br /><br />Wolflit.com of Wolf Literary is not an operable site, says its under construction, leads to nothing at this time.<br /><br />Willian Morris Endevor seems to lead to absolutely nothing literary whatsoever. Its an agency which reps comics, lecturers, voice-over, and theatrical...NO WRITERS (on the linked web-site at least).<br /><br />Wendy Weil does not list accepting childrens, sci-fi, nor paranorm or fantasy.<br /><br />Wendy Sherman does not accept: &quot;Genre romance, westerns, science fiction, or fantasy&quot;. The only agent on their list who seems (from the dossiers) might be interested in para/sci-fi is not accepting queries.<br /><br />Weed (Weed Literary) specifies NO YA.<br /><br />The Strothman Agency (which you incorrectly have listed as Strohman) seems only to be accepted non-fic.<br /><br />Stuart Krichevsky seems to be doing only non-fic (according to their client list), I see no YA or even fiction.<br /><br />You have Sterling&#39;s agency listed incorrectly as &#39;Stering&#39;, and they seem to be pretty exclusive of those not referred to them by known clients. They also &#39;...do not respond to unsolicited e-mail inquiries.&#39;<br /><br />Sternig &amp; Byrne is suspicious. The link you have up for them is completely incorrect, and they do not seem to have a (searchable) web-site. There are lots of people questioning their reality/existence/policies (they don&#39;t use contracts???) (Their only Internet connection is a HOTMAIL address???) Finally (if they are real) they seem to be located in Milwaukee, and I have read lots of advice that we should only go with agents in NY or Quebec, for their access to publishers.<br /><br />MDMaxDhttp://www.leanpub.com/nightfallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124587072441332479.post-42487283211244240592013-01-30T09:49:27.935-08:002013-01-30T09:49:27.935-08:00This is soooo helpful!

She&#39;s American, but she works out of Paris. She&#39;s new to agenting, but not to the industry and she has tons of contacts. Plus, she&#39;s a sweetie pie.
