Rick Lewis, Literary Manager 

​

SCAM ALERT: If you are contacted by a "Rick Lewis" from Rick@directacquistionsteam.com be warned it is a scam operation!  The real Rick Lewis is a literary agent for Martin Literary Management, and he does NOT reach out to authors unsolicited nor does he ever charge authors for any advance services, ever.​

​

Rick Lewis represents speculative fiction (SFFH) authors.

​

Rick is looking for character-driven stories with genuine emotion and meaning struggles. And maybe a dragon or a spaceship, too. But mostly the genuine and meaningful stuff. He wants you to take him on a journey to a highly imaginative new world that illuminates our own in some significant way.

​

He is open to queries for Adult and Young Adult novels, as well as graphic novels. 

​

He’s most interested in:
-          Epic Fantasy & Space Opera (Classic empire-spanning stuff!)
-          Dark Fantasy & Gothic Horror 
-          Contemporary Fantasy (Especially portal/hidden worlds)
-          Post-Apocalyptic
-          Paranormal Horror 
-          Magical Realism
 

He also loves:
-          #OwnVoices
-          Stories that celebrate diversity and inclusion
-          Miraculous technology gone too far
-          Fairytale retellings
 

He’s very skeptical of vampire and superhero novels, but maybe you can win him over? But he’s not at all interested in cocky, wise-cracking YA protagonists who are cynical and world-weary by the age of 18.
