Claire Harris is an Agent at Helm Literary. Claire says “Hi there! Claire Harris here. IÕm a literary agent at Helm Literary representing a wide range of fiction and nonfiction for adult readers. IÕm looking for projects with unique voices, interesting writing styles, compelling characters, and unexplored perspectives. I work with authors at all stages of their careers, and I love helping authors get their debut book deals. You can find books IÕve worked on listed on a variety of bestseller lists, includingÊThe New York Times,ÊUSA Today, and more. When IÕm not reading, you can find me taking long walks around the city, drinking too much iced tea, and crafting.IÕm actively acquiring both fiction and non-fiction for adults, especially projects that shine a spotlight on people, places, and events that are often overlooked or not given the attention they deserve. In fiction, IÕm looking for horror, standalone psychological thrillers, mysteries, and romcoms. IÕm seeking diverse characters and authors, stories that twist and subvert classic tropes, and strong female leads. I especially likes friendship stories, revenge stories, and sharp voices across all genres, and I have a soft spot for stories with a tie to the Midwest or the South, but IÕm also interested in small town settings in other areas. In nonfiction, IÕm primarily looking for cultural criticism, true crime, pop culture, lifestyle guides, and illustrated gift books for adults. I love books that present an untold perspective or bring a fresh take to a well-loved topic. IÕm looking for strong voices across all genres, regardless of topic and tone.”
