Alina Mitchell

An agent with MacGregor & Luedeke (see other agents at this agency).

About

Alina Mitchell discovered her love for books in elementary school when she realized it opened up a world full of adventure and wonder beyond her wildest dreams. The timeless gift of storytelling and the power that one book can have simply enamored her, and she always knew she would work in the book industry one day.

Alina received a Bachelor of Arts in English/Professional Writing with a minor in Business Management from Oakwood University, a Master of Arts in English & Secondary Education from the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) and an Instructional Design/eLearning Certificate from Oregon State University.

Beginning her writing and education career working as a Freshman Composition instructor at UAH, Alina always encouraged her students to have a sense of agency and own their voices through their writing. She continued to pursue her passion working as a secondary English teacher, principal and higher education administrator.

In 2019, Alina pulished her debut book, The Color of Beauty: The Life and Work of New York Fashion Icon Ophelia DeVore, which chronicled the life of her grand-aunt Ophelia DeVore, the first Black model in the United States. Alina has co-authored two forthcoming books including a young adult mystery novel and Every Inch A Lady: A Memoir From Fashion Icon Audrey Smaltz (Amistad/HarperCollins).

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
