@RR2020 & @KimBeall
Publisher's Marketplace has Olswanger Literary as being active with deals reported since 2014. The agency ranks #2 in Digital: Fiction: Debut and #23 in Horror. They have 158 deals reported, 3 of which are 6-figure, and recent reports include deals with Orbit UK, DAW, and Bindery, though some deals are with smaller presses.
I'm finding that there is submission info on the agents' personal websites. My guess is simply that the agency's website is incredibly outdated, but the agency does make deals, though it isn't the shiniest agency.

@KimBeal, they seem to be pretty new as an actual agency. The website you're talking about is about Olswanger, and there are links where each of the other agents have their wishlists etc, but if you try to look them up on pub marketplace nothing shows up so they probably haven't made any public deals Daniel Niv joined very recently 2024 I think it was, so that's not too surprising. But it certainly is organized different from most agency websites etc

Followed the link to this site on January 19, 2025, but this doesn't seem to be a literary agency so much as a promo site for the founder's books. Can't find any info on the site about any of the other agents who supposedly work there, or any info about submitting manuscripts to anyone.

I'm closing out all of my active queries for personal reasons, but I just wanted to note that a few hours after I closed this one, she responded to say that she will "respond to all queries! Even if sometimes it takes a little longer than I wish."
I just wanted to share because I thought it was a very sweet message and she seems like a lovely agent to work with. I absolutely didn't pull my query because I thought she was taking too long or anything (really, 55 days is nothing in this landscape), and now I feel a bit bad about it after seeing how gracious she is, haha. It's unfortunate that I can no longer reply within the query, so I'm hoping leaving this comment might send a few more people her way. :)
