The Strothman Agency is dedicated to promoting authors of significant works through the entire publishing cycle. With more than 30 years experience in publishing (most recently at publisher at Houghton Mifflin Company and at Beacon Press), our extensive inside experience and knowledge of both the editorial and business aspects of publishing—how editors and publishers make decisions, the economics of publishing, the importance of focused and strategic marketing and publicity, the nuances of contracts—as well as our many contacts among independent booksellers give us the ability to provide effective support to our clients.
We work closely with our authors to shape effective proposals, and we strive to match our authors with the most appropriate editors and publishers. We stay closely involved throughout the publishing process, working with the publisher to assure that the author has a voice in critical design, publicity, and marketing decisions. In addition, we provide advice to our writers to encourage the long-term success of their careers.
Because we are highly selective in the clients we represent, we increase the value publishers place on our properties. We seek 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 fiction. We also represent young adult novels and some picture books. We do not handle adult romance, adult science fiction, or self help.
The Strothman Agency is a member of the Association of Author Representatives.
