Our Interests
Strachan Literary Agency is interested in strong, quality narrative writing, whether fiction or nonfiction: compelling stories, well told.
Captivate us. Intrigue Us. Tell us about things we’ve never known, or tell us about something we do know in a new and different way.
Laura is interested in:
*Fiction: Primarily literary fiction and upmarket commercial. In general no genre fiction, however will consider fiction with crossover potential if beautifully written.
