Halyard Literary Agency began with one simple idea: Raise authors up.

The publishing world can be a vast, intimidating ocean, but as an author with a manuscript, you have a ship with sails. It’s all a matter of raising them to catch the wind. Have questions? That’s what we’re here for! Have a look through the rest of the site, or e-mail us: halyard@halyardagency.com

What we do:

If an author’s job is to write, an agent’s job is to handle the business end. What Halyard proposes is to help authors work through the publishing process with savvy, charm, and panache.

Another part of Halyard’s particular author-agent relationship is our personal involvement with our authors’ work in both the editing and story development areas. Your own originality and voice are key, but everyone can benefit from a critical, supportive eye on their work.
