The Strothman Agency - Submissions

Submission Guidelines

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, young adult fiction and non-fiction and some business. We have a highly selective practice in literary fiction and smart self-help. We will consider smart, well written commercial fiction but ONLY from authors who have a platform. If you have a platform, please mention it in your query letter. We are now actively looking for authors of well written young-adult fiction and nonfiction.
