New Literary Agent Alert: Janna Bonikowski of The Knight Agency
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Janna Bonikowski of The Knight Agency) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Janna: Janna Bonikowski joined the Knight Agency with several years of experience as both an independent editor and a freelance editor for Lyrical Press/Kensington. Though her Bachelor’s degree focused on business and economics, her passion for books made a career in publishing inevitable.

With such a wide range of literary loves, she manically adds to her to-be-read pile every new-release Tuesday, supporting the economy one book purchase at a time.
