The Strothman Agency seeks out scholars, journalists, and other acknowledged and emerging experts in their fields.
We specialize in narrative non-fiction, memoir, history, science and nature, arts and culture, literary travel, current affairs, and some business. We have a highly selective practice in literary fiction and smart self-help. We are now opening our doors to more commercial fiction but ONLY from authors who have a platform. If you have a platform, please mention it in your query letter.
