Michael Harriot is Director of Contracts at Folio Literary Management. His client list has featured high-profile authors and more than a dozen New York Times bestsellers. He looks first for authors with something valuable, thought-provoking, or entertaining to say: a compelling story or message that readers have not heard before or that is told from a completely new perspective. He likes distinctive voice, command of craft, or an author committed to working with a quality co-writer, with extra points for fearlessness, genuine quirkiness, or a dark sense of humor.
