I don't get it; I don't see any evidence that she handles fiction. There isn't any fiction on the agency's website.

Its like reading tea leaves... or middle school romance.

Got a rejection from an assistant today 92/18/22) on a submission I sent 94 days ago. According to her timeline, Dara is primarily an agent that does not respond when she passes (I'm not mad about that at all). In the last six months she's given three rejections, one being mine. The others were fairly quick. Everything else is CNR... I had CNR'd this submission over a month ago.

I wonder if that means anything? Just a random rejection? Was my submission somehow special (the rejection was actually pretty kind as they go)? Was mine the first in a wave of 100+ day rejections because they are catching up? The mind wonders...

It was a nice (short) note, though.

As an agent, I'm looking for great storytelling in narrative nonfiction and speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy).

I am particularly interested in hidden histories, underrepresented voices, and unexpected intersections of topics, styles, and audiences.

For nonfiction, please refer to agency guidelines here.

For SFF, please submit a query letter including your title, genre, word count, and pitch, and attach the first 3 chapters of your project in an email to me at dara at rossyoon dot com.*

Liked my #PitMad pitch eight days after PitMad. I followed directions on her website to query her on 3/13/21.

Update: No response by 7/15/21.

Was super speedy. Liked my pitch, but not the sample pages.
