 ABOUT THE AGENT: Donovan Levine is an associate literary agent at Neighborhood Literary and AALA member based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When not doing agent work, he can probably be found at a local dive bar cheering for Philly sports teams. Donovan craves voice-driven, fly-off-the-page characters and adventurous stories, with messaging and themes relevant to the times. And he is especially seeking underrepresented voices with powerful, lived experiences. DONOVAN IS SEEKING: In fiction:
In nonfiction, Donovan is looking for memoirs with a particular focus on individualism, struggle, self-actualization, self-help, religion, inspiration, or personal identity. HOW TO SUBMIT: Donovan accepts query letters sent directly to [email protected] with the first three chapters of the manuscript (attached or in the body of the email). If he doesn’t get back to you on your query within 4-5 weeks, it is likely a pass. Please note: When we post a New Agent Spotlight, we try to make sure the agent is open to submissions at the time of posting. But as time goes by, an agent can close and open to submissions at any time. If some time has passed since this spotlight was posted, you will want to check their agency website and/or QueryManager before submitting, to be sure.  Attend a Writers Conference in 2026:
