Pam van Hylckama Vlieg (Larsen Pomada Literary Agents)
Interests: "High concept young adult in any genre. Middle grade in these genres: fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, paranormal, literary. Romance in these categories: historical, fantasy, and erotica. New genres:
commercial science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction. New Adult in all categories will be considered.
I am now open to submissions in upmarket women’s fiction and historical fiction. I’m looking for books with particularly well-developed characters and strong authorial voice. In historical fiction in particular I am particularly interested in books that bring the setting to life and that maintain balance between historical accuracy and strong plot choices. I am also very interested in mystery, fantasy, and occasionally romance approaches to these genres as well." - Please check the links above for more information.

ReplyDeleteI feel like a cheat b/c I may have won the other appointment with Pam, but there's a bit of rule debate there, so $9.
ReplyDeleteI can at least help the bidding progress.

ReplyDelete$25
ReplyDeleteAhh--I recognize this tactic--the old, Mexican standoff :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Cupid actually wrote a little bit about that at the tail end of our discussion (on Pam's other appointment).
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Also, NOW I'm able to just straight up enter comments. When I was bidding, I had to do the capcha thing every time.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, I had to combat capcha to get my $30 bid in.
Maybe she took the captcha off because I haven't had to use it this time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. I always forgot to take it off for things like this.
DeleteIf I leave it off, the spam attacks! It's insane! :)

I think we're allowed to bid against ourselves? Otherwise nobody would ever bid the $27, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteWell played, ladies.
ReplyDeleteYes. You can bid against yourself on the last bid. Cupid confirmed that in the other Pam van Hylckama Vlieg post.
