Full Agent Profile: Chris Lotts

Chris Lotts

Narrative

• I handle adult science fiction and fantasy for the agency, and am currently interested in hard-edged, innovative crime novels and thrillers, paranormal and urban fantasy, and SF; strong commercial writing is the most important criteria.
  
• In terms of non-fiction, I am interested in narrative up-market non-fiction on a variety of subjects

• Email: send a brief query via querycl@lottsagency.com, including any information regarding previous publications; you may also include the first 5-10 pages of your manuscript in the body of the email (no attachments, please).
• Because of the large number of queries that I receive, I'm only respond in the event that I'm interested in reading the material. I'm managing a start-up agency with a large client list, so unfortunately, responding to all queries isn't workable. I have to give priority in terms of time to my current clients. Generally, further interest will be expressed within 6 weeks' time. Thanks for your understanding.
• Please email me at the "querycl@lottsagency.com" email address only. Queries to other email accounts are assumed to be spam and are deleted.
• For ease of reference, please put the title of the work and the genre (if applicable) into the message line of your query.
