About Us

Strachan Literary Agency specializes in representing literary fiction and narrative nonfiction: compelling stories, well told.

The agency was established in 1998 by literary agent and principal Laura Strachan who was looking for a way to combine her lifetime love of books and good writing with her background as a licensed attorney.

She is a current member of both the Maryland and District of Columbia Bars, as well as the Author's Guild, and was cited in the Jan/Feb 2008 issue of Poets & Writer's Magazine as one of "21 Agents You Should Know."

Strachan Literary Agency is located in historic Annapolis, Maryland, a short train ride from mid-town Manhattan.
