QUERIES.

What I'm Looking For:
​
I work at The Deborah Harris Agency in Jerusalem, Israel. I represent authors all over the world.

In general, I represent Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction, as well as Adult Literary Fiction, Historical Fiction, Thrillers, Upmarket Women's Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy. I am also always looking for Picture Books. I am open to representing Non-Fiction and Cookbooks, but it would have to be the right project for me - I love Science Writing and Literary Non-Fiction.

As an agency, we represent the worldwide publishing and dramatic rights of Israeli, Palestinian and other Internationally-based authors. We also handle the foreign rights of publishers and literary agencies all over the world for the translation of their books into Hebrew. I work both in foreign rights, by also as a literary agent, building my own list within the agency.

I am desperately seeking Middle Grade!

I am also very much looking for Picture Books.

I am always looking for beautiful literary fiction.

I'm a poet, and I think the best novelists were poets first, so novels in verse, novels with poetic language and writing, are totally things I am always looking for.

I am very interested in representing Fantasy and Science Fiction of all types, I am always looking for Israeli and Middle Eastern Science Fiction and Fantasy, and also SciFi/Fantasy with Jewish content and themes. This includes Adult/Middle Grade/Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy.

I also represent Young Adult contemporary novels.

I would love to find a New Adult or Adult novel written about the Israeli army (LGBQT also!)

I would love to represent historical fiction set in Ancient Israel, or historical fiction with Israeli/Jewish content and themes - for Adults/Middle Grade/Young Adult.

I love all types of historical fiction, in all genres.

I'd love to see literary novels set in the Middle East - historical fiction, fantasy, and especially multicultural romances.
