After graduating from Northwestern University, Ezra Kupor got his start at Agate Publishing before moving to HarperCollins Publishers, where they acquire and edit a diverse list of titles across the Harper Perennial and Harper Books imprints.

Ezra is always looking for fiction and nonfiction that seek to investigate the multiple contradictions of identity and explore places and communities of belonging, which means he’s often attuned to queer and underrepresented voices and/or drawn to stories in which the strangeness of the world adds pressure to what is already pressurized. These interests bring him across genres and formats—including identity-driven cookbooks, trans speculative literary fiction, essay collections on art and identity politics, upmarket commercial books about corporate racism and lesbian love triangles, and more—but he is especially looking for accessible narratives (romcoms, thrillers, pace-y literary/commercial crossover) that can bring these queer and underrepresented voices to a broader audience.

Born in Houston, TX, Ezra spent most of his childhood in Atlanta, GA. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
