Agents
Howard Morhaim
After several years as a line editor, book doctor and acquisitions editor at different New York publishing houses, Howard Morhaim established a literary agency in 1979. Because of his editing background, he quickly developed a reputation as an agent who works very closely with his clients, giving detailed manuscript feedback and proposal development. At the same time, the agency also became known for representing the best of writers working in a very wide range of fiction and nonfiction. We represent writers working at the top of their respective fields, and a more eclectic list would be hard to find.
Owing to a very full plate, Howard Morhaim is not accepting unsolicited submissions, but only submissions that come as recommendations from colleagues or clients.
