Ah hah! That's where I read it. You find a publisher who prints your kinda stuff. This finding an agent and a publisher for my sci-fi/ fantasy is something I'm VERY interested in, seeing as I've been looking into it for years (and sending out with very little luck). I actually did the same thing with my romantic comedy, checked out who liked uh...maybe I shouldn't post that, oh, I'll do it, the shallow stuff (as opposed to um, deep).
Anyhoo, I'll just have to hit the bookstores and try it again with the sci-fi.
The only problem is I'm very unfamiliar with a lot of the sci-fi authors. To be perfectly honest, I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy when I was a kid (loved Dragon Lance...I think it was the battle scenes and Tasselhof, though it took me forever to realize he wasn't just a teenage idol airhead--c'mon, I was in fifth grade and I started in the middle of the trilogy--I didn't get that concept either. When a particular someone died, my brother had to dry my tears and tell me there were more books and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE that particular someone didn't really die).
And now I just watch the sci-fi/ fantasy movies. Let's just say I stole my older brother's books and then when he left for college, I wasn't talented enough to find a good book on my own...and then I just read the assigned books in school from there. Perhaps admitting that is death, except that never really stopped my imagination or kept me away from my notebooks.
To make a long story short (or shall we say, I made it way longer than it needed to be), if anyone wants to take a look at my website (and like I said before, ignore that the background of the sci fi is in pink--one of my friends helping me out with it thinks he's hilarious...and he might have a point), it's
www.stephaniefowers.com and if you want to look at the blurbs and tell me who writes a similar story, maybe I can look them up and figure out who's their agent (that's a hard one), but at least figure out their publisher and go from there. And if not, just take a look at it because it's fun. Let's just say I definitely have my favorites in there. And please ignore my blurbs for my romantic comedy (because you might think I'm serious AND I'm really just a jokester, but some people get so offended nowadays.)
I'll be checking out the bookstores. Thanks again and let me help you in any way I can too. My gmail account is posted on that site too, Steph
