A few hours later, I actually got a confirmation of receipt reply from Dara about just my query and sample material, which was a really pleasant surprise!

Very nice rejection from her assistant. So nice, in fact, that I didn't know it was a rejection until sentence three. But I'll take the kind words! :)

Not only FAST but she gave me really specific and encouraging feedback with editing suggestions! 11/10 would query again.

On her Twitter on August 1st she posted "Hi! I get this Q a lot, so-- @RossYoon is a nonfiction agency, but I'm expanding my list to include nonfiction + SFF".

I commented on one of her #mswl tweets about taking on fantasy to see if that included YA and she didn’t reply. So I think the answer is no YA?

Guess I closed it out a day too soon. Said it was promising and great to see a female heroine in a science fiction book, but it was not right for her list. Sent from an intern though, Jay Venables.

chrisaerith, Dara does accept fiction. She's new to the agency and they haven't updated their website yet.

Their website: We only represent adult nonfiction, from memoir and history to biography, humor, and popular science. We do not represent fiction, screenplays, poetry, YA, or children’s titles.

I don't understand? do they or do they not rep fiction? In the genres tab on querytracker they claim to rep fantasy fiction?
