About Miriam

Miriam Altshuler began her publishing career at Russell & Volkening, working for twelve years alongside authors like Anne Tyler, Eudora Welty, and Bernard Malamud. In 1994, she established her own agency, which she ran for twenty-one years before joining DeFiore and Company in 2016. She specializes in adult literary and book club fiction, narrative non-fiction, memoir, and children's books (middle grade and YA), with a focus on character-driven stories, diverse voices, and BIPOC experiences.
