Harris was editor of British periodicals the Evening News, the Fortnightly Review, The Saturday Review (for which he hired George Bernard Shaw) and the U.S. edition of Pearson's Magazine. In addition to My Life and Loves his work includes Oscar Wilde: His Life and Confessions, Life of Bernard Shaw and Contemporary Portraits.
