Thank you for the kind and encouraging words Michelle. This felt more like a conversation between friends than a q&a. You are such a gem.

Thank you Michelle. Dis is eyeopening. But its hard to make it a standalone book because it ends at the point when d war officially begins. But there is a chance it might work n I have an idea but I'm afraid the change might make d book preachy, making it sound more like mock creative nonfictiony?

The entire urban science fantasy series is about the 45 yr long war between the MCs' army of blessed women and the antagonist' army of patriarchal demons. The 1st book covers d rise of d villain n the beginning of war. The other books r told from the MCs perspectives, depicting the war.

Thanks for the prompt reply Michelle. The thing is this book is part of d series and it is a villain origin story. So d antagonist has all the focus and the MCs are rising to meet the challenges he created at the end of this book. So the book is character driven but the character is the antagonist.

Hi Michelle, what r the chances of a science fantasy novel set in South India, with Indianwomen MCs in d global market? Does it have to be character driven or plot driven? And if it is character driven, are agents likely to pick villainorigin stories of sadisitc male narcissists portrayed as demons?

Thank you Morgan. Your answers are super helpful. We are grateful that agents like you are taking the time to answer questions from desperate and readerless writers.

This is the first book in a series of science fantasy books I have planned, with the first book recording the villain origin story of the main antagonist. The rest of the series depicts the long war between the demons and the feminist regime, with the latter prevailing, restoring peace and order.

In nearfuture India, 3 Tamilwomen, govern a feminist regime and run a gene remodeling program for children to eradicate misogyny. Their authority is challenged when a male child defies the remodeling process, and grows into the leader of an ancient demon race created to uphold patriarchy.

Thank you so much @sffreview.bsky.social Kind words like this is the only thing that matters. You made my day.

For centuries the Jandas, muck demons created to uphold patriarchy, had oppressed the Free Woman populace, but the dawn of the new millennium sees the rise of 3 Tamilwomen founding a feminist regime, threatening the authority of Janda-kind in near future India.

This is both fucking hilarious and a fucking tragedy. WTF!

Hi, would you be interested in considering a science fantasy horror series about the conflict between a 21st century feminist regime and a muck demon kind whose purpose is to uphold patriarchy? The first book I'll be querying is the villain origin story of the antagonist.
