Create. Build. Grow.

Standing at the cross-section between art and commerce, the agents at High Line Literary Collective facilitate thriving, vibrant careers for writers, artists and creators.  

From the moment we begin working with a client, we establish full-spectrum representation dedicated to each creator’s unique needs. From audience engagement, to career orientation, to strategic long-term management, our holistic guidance charts your most successful publishing journey. 

Located in the heart of Manhattan just steps from the High Line, we love that our organization is named for a feat of innovative engineering and triumphant spirit. The High Line, a once-abandoned railway track turned nature park pathway in the sky spanning from 20th to 34th street, serves as a symbol of what wild dreams and big ideas can accomplish when hearts and minds align and seek to create something of distinctive beauty for all to enjoy. 

We are proud to be High Line Literary Collective. 

We’re publishing experts on a mission.

We know the needs of fiction and nonfiction authors differ greatly. That’s why we offer distinct divisions under the High Line Literary Collective umbrella—Paper Over Board offers premiere nonfiction services, while Volume Five is tailored to top-level fiction representation.

We work from a place of deep knowledge and insight, fostering connections that set us apart.
