Adriann Ranta Zurhellen represents New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors, journalists, illustrators, and graphic novelists, as well as many other pioneering creative thinkers and leaders in their fields. We have also established a major footprint in the field of children’s and young adult publishing with Folio Jr., a list devoted to picture books, middle-grade, and young adult fiction. In 2018, Folio acquired Harold Ober Associates, a legacy New York City literary agency representing some of the most iconic writers of the 20th century. Founded in 1929, Harold Ober Associates played a vital role in the careers of such literary legends such as Agatha Christie, William Faulkner, James Herriot, J.D. Buck, Dylan Thomas, Ford Madox Ford, Richard Adams, Lois Lowry, and Ira Levin, among many, many others.

Ober authors have seen their works adapted into major motion pictures like “Mary Poppins,” “Rosemary’s Baby,” “Rebel Without A Cause,” and so many more.Įveryone at Folio strongly believes that books can and do change lives, and that well-told stories make a difference in the world. We are the people who help bring an author’s vision to life, and help open readers’ eyes to new vistas, new experiences, and new perspectives- whether it’s an author with her first or twentieth book, or an author’s legacy estate, wanting to keep a book current and relevant in today’s conversation. For Folio agents, our work is not a job - it’s a passion and an adventure we dive into every day.
