I'm not considering this a true New Agent Alert because literary agent Jody Khan (née Klein) (of Brandt and Hochman Literary Agents, Inc.) is not new. That said, this post resembles an Alert in that Jody did tell me recently how she is actively looking to build her client list right now -- and that is something writers should be happy to know. All details below for those interested in querying her!
