Archived page. The Harris Literary Agency no longer accepts submissions or queries through this address, and this archive does not represent authors.
This was the agency's About page under its earlier file name, captured in November 2005. The text is the same as the 2009 version at aboutagency.html, including its two misspellings, which shows that the description of Barbara J. Harris and the agency's approach stayed unchanged for more than three years, from November 2005 to February 2009.
