New agent at MNLM

The header for a new QueryTracker page says: “Send a Query to Hollie Michaels at Martin-Newens Literary Management”

And the intro on that page says: “I am open to picture book authors and author / illustrators, middle grade, young adult, graphic novels, new adult and select adult genres. I will respond to all queries.”

The Q&A on her personal website says: “Agenting has always been my dream job. It combines my background as an author, producer, educator, critique partner into one!”
