The Joy Harris Literary Agency has a long and successful history representing authors, and aiding in the development of their work. We work closely and directly with writers to help guide their careers, negotiate on their behalf, and protect their work.
We represent a wide-range of fiction and non-fiction, and are especially interested in literary fiction, narrative non-fiction, and young-adult literature.
