From an Agent "No more fae/gods/vampires/angels. . ."

nephele posts here about has stuffed her in-box to the max.

I wonder how many other agents are saying this, too?

Oh boy.

If you've got one square in the midst of this, and there are signs that other agents are saying the same thing, then just hold onto it. You know how the pendulum swings.

I do, and fortunately I was trying to decide between next writing a novel involving fae and one NOT involving anything in those categories, so that helps make that decision easier, actually. The one I just finished and will be getting ready for market involves gods, but is not YA and not anything like most of what's out there, so...I may be good. Or not. Time will tell.

While it's dangerous to project one single agent's current wants and not-wants list onto everybody, it does sound like you're not hitting squarely in the zeitgeist. Good!

For once. I've had a real problem with landing on the zeitgeist and making it squeal in the past. ;-)
