Green Apple Books co-owner Pete Mulvihill is now also an agent

September 3, 2025

After more than 30 years in the bookselling business, Pete Mulvihill knows how to spot a good story. From his sunny office in the Richmond District, the Green Apple Books co-owner has kept a close eye on the Bay Area’s evolving literary scenes and appetites, stocking the shelves across the bookstore chain with titles and authors he knows will sell.

All summer, he’s also been quietly applying his hard-won knowledge of bookselling to selling manuscripts to publishers as a literary agent for The Watermark Agency.
