bumping this to see if anyone has news about this agency ...
I noticed on Publishers Lunch this morning that they just added a new agent, Michelle Witte (shellwitte here at AW?). She was an editor at Gibbs Smith and is now looking for YA and MG fiction.
Yep! That's me.
I won't snoop around too much, so feel free to say whatever you like, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

I always feel sorry for new agents. Not because of the agent grind you're stepping into, but because your email is going to crash under the weight of the million queries you're about to get. Didn't Denise Little get something like 1600 queries A DAY when she announced? And I think that number lasted months.
O.O I'll count myself lucky that I only got around 50. I probably shouldn't say that. The karma gods might be watching.
@Shellwrite
Are there any particular genres within YA and MG that you're specifically looking for?
Yes, I am aware of that. It was late and I just got off work and was tired but couldn't go to sleep. So thank youSince you're the second one I've seen do it, I'll bring it up.
Her username is "Shellwitte," using her last name. It's not "Shellwrite."
Ms. Witte seems fantastic. (As a fellow Utahan, she must be!)
