Do you write graphic novels? ICYMI: In January, Publishers Weekly announced that Andrea Colvin launched her own literary agency.

This is a 3-in-1 news story:

(#1) You may recall reading on this blog that Little, Brown Books for Young Readers was restructured in November 2025.

(#2) Last week, however, Shelf Awareness reported that Hachette Children’s Group was phasing out Little, Brown Books for Young Readers as a part of the Hachette UK children’s division restructuring. (Little, Brown and Company was founded in 1837.)

(#3) Before she started her agency, Colvin acquired books for Little, Brown Ink, the Little, Brown Books for Young Readers graphic novel imprint she founded, and all of those titles are still online so you can see what she likes.

What is she looking for now? The Andrea Colvin Creative Agency webpage says:

“Andrea founded Andrea Colvin Creative Agency in 2025 after a long career as a kidlit and graphic novel editor. She focuses on books and illustration for young people, from picture books through young adult. She represents illustrators, middle-grade + young adult prose authors and creative nonfiction for kids.”
