Agent Bio

Henry Dunow began his career as a literary agent in the early 1980s, with stints at Curtis Brown and Harold Ober Associates before founding his own agency in 1997, which has since evolved into Dunow, Carlson & Lerner Literary Agency.

Over the years he’s discovered and introduced a number of new, younger writers who’ve gone on to become established literary voices – and is particularly proud of that.

He is the author of The Way Home, a memoir about fatherhood.
