Harry E. (Harry Edward) Maule

Born in Fairmont, Nebraska, on July 13, 1886, Harry Edward Maule built a career that moved through journalism, magazine editing, and major New York publishing houses. Reliable library and archival sources describe him as an American editor and book publishing executive, and note that he worked as a reporter before going on to a long career in publishing.

Maule was closely associated with Doubleday and later Random House, where he became a senior editorial figure and retired in 1966. Sources also connect him with pulp and western publishing, especially Short Stories magazine and collections of Western Americana, and note that he was a friend and editor of Sinclair Lewis.

As an author and editor, he is linked with books such as The Boy's Book of New Inventions, Selma Lagerlöf: The Woman, Her Work, Her Message, and western story collections including Great Tales of the American West. He died on April 8, 1971. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages available here, so no profile image is included.
