Ryan Harrington - Editor

I have worked in book publishing for over 12 years. I started my career at the Overlook Press, went on to become an assistant editor at W. W. Norton, became Senior Editor at Melville House, and am now Senior Editor at Timber Press.

I have edited New York Times Bestselling non-fiction such as David K. Johnston’s THE MAKING OF Donald Trump and Jenny Odell’s HOW TO DO NOTHING, which also won a Porchlight Business Book Award. I edited Joshua Rivkin’s biography of Cy Twombly, CHALK, which was nominated for the PEN / Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography and the Marfield Prize, as well as Alicia Elliott’s Amazon Editor’s Pick A MIND SPREAD OUT ON THE GROUND.

In fiction I have edited everything from the comic novel NIETZSCHE AND THE BURBS by Lars Iyer to the magical realist IMMORTALS OF TEHRAN by Ali Araghi; from Miles Franklin Award-winning literary thriller BLACK ROCK, WHITE CITY by A.S Patric to the novel-in-interviews THE BOOK OF FORMATION by Ross Simonini.
