Who would be a good agent to approach with a series of sci-fi books to publish?

1) If your previous book was self published, say so up front. It isn’t really a writing credit because your book didn’t go through the scrutiny of being selected for publication, you just paid to do it. 2) NEVER tell a publisher or agent your book is a series. The first book should stand alone with a clear ending. If you tell an agent or publisher it’s a series, they become very nervous and you will be rejected. No publisher wants to be stuck with a multi book contract if the first book tanks. On the other hand if the first book is a success, you will be able to sell the others for a better deal. 3) Get yourself the latest copy of Writers Market and start your search. There is no one answer to your question. Look not only at agents who read Sci fi but look at their track record. Do you recognize other authors they represent? Have they actually gotten books published by decent publishers or do they just have a stable full of authors they are trying to sell, but getting nowhere? 4) Alway
