Harvey Klinger

Harvey Klinger received his M.A. in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. He began his publishing career at Doubleday where he expected to become the next Max Perkins among editors. Instead, he left and worked for a literary agent for eighteen months and began forming his first client list. A two-year stint followed in association with an independent publicist. Harvey created his own independent operation in October, 1977 and has never looked back. He personally loves great adult commercial and literary fiction; and in non- fiction, books that teach or enlighten the reader to help us cope in an ever-changing world.

He does not personally accept submissions for children's books and those submissions should not be sent directly to him.
