Agent hunting continues apace

megwritesI spent the better part of today doing intensive research on agents, and I managed to find a handful that I somehow missed on the first go.
I also found some pretty good stuff, so I figured I'd share the wealth.
Agents who rep SF/F thread at AbsoluteWrite.com - You'll have to fast forward to the bottom of the thread to see the most recent entries, but I gleaned a few very good names from there. As always, do your research. Some of the info on the forum may not be accurate, but it's nice to know actually does SF/F, not just who lists it at AgentQuery or LitMatch.
Colleen Lindsay is opening to submissions again. Colleen is a superb agent and a great person. Read the guidelines very carefully, though. She's only opening to certain things, but if you fit the things she's looking for, I would definitely submit.
10 Literary Agents Who Represent SF/F. Most of these are the really biggest and best agents working the field, but it's probably a good starting point for anyone looking for agents. And hey, it was nice to know that I was thorough the first time around (I queried way more than ten, though).
A list of agents who represent at least three living SF/F writers. It's a good list, though there are a few sticking points. Some of the agents are no longer with the agencies listed, some are moving away from SF/F, one or two of agents and/or agency is defunct, if I remember correctly. But it's not a bad starting point if you just need some names and a direction to go in.
