Query Opportunity

An agent at my agency, Nephele Tempest, is currently accepting queries for YA projects (especially YA fantasy), here.

I will read and respond to all queries posted. Comments are being screened, so no one else will be reading your material, and I will respond to you by e-mail whether or not I wish to see more.

So, what am I looking for? All types of YA fiction, though I’m particularly in the market for some great urban fantasy. Please only query for projects that are completed. Also, please do not query on anything I’ve seen previously. New material only. In addition, if you wish to have your material reviewed by another member of the Knight Agency team (Deidre, Pamela, or Elaine), you should submit a standard query through normal channels, as I’m not going to be passing any of these queries along to my coworkers.

Please include the following:
~One paragraph summary of your project.
~One paragraph on you, your writing background, etc.
~Your name, title of work, and an e-mail address at which you can be reached.

Have at it, folks.

PS: I just read the trailing comment thread over there at Nephele’s where people ask questions about the process. This one made me laugh: “I’m finding that when agents say YA, they mean girls YA, not boys. Am I right in assuming this is the case for you?” Really, where do people come up with this stuff?
