Danielle Niv

An agent with Olswanger Literary LLC (see other agents at this agency).

About

Danielle Niv majored in Literature and Creative Writing, and spent several years freelancing as a manuscript reader for various leading publishing houses. She tried working in a bookshop, but ended up spending her entire salary there on books. So she worked as a librarian instead!
Following her internship with literary agent Anna Olswanger in 2024, she finally got her dream job and became a Literary Associate at Olswanger Literary.

Body, Mind & Spirit: My areas and interests are wide, and I’m open to anything that connects to spirituality. If you’re unsure, feel free to query me anyway. I’m interested in New Age, esotericism, dreams, mysticism, occult, witchcraft, astrology, mindfulness, tarot and divination, beautiful oracle and tarot decks, nature writing, etc. It’s ideal if the project can engage a young audience and be whimsical, quirky, fun, and inviting to read.
Lifestyle, self-help, and how-to. I also love projects that blend worlds. I’ve seen books on the market about a literary figure plus something—for example, a book on Emily Dickinson’s gardening or a cookbook inspired by Jane Austen. How lovely is that? I guess I’m really looking for books that are heartwarming and cozy!

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.
