Hannah Strouth, Agent At Sanford J. Greenburger Associates

Before joining Sanford J. Greenburger Associates in 2024, Hannah spent over four years at the Jane Rotrosen Agency. Born and raised in Tennessee, she graduated from the College of William & Mary in Virginia with degrees in English and marketing and attended the Columbia Publishing Course.

Hannah is looking for literary and upmarket fiction, as well as select nonfiction.

In fiction, she gravitates toward nuanced and compelling work that digs deep into a wide range of emotions. She’s automatically drawn to stories that help discover and explore new aspects about people, the way we (dis)connect, what haunts us (literally and metaphorically) and how we confront it, and stories of resiliency.

If you can describe your story as “dark,” “edgy,” or “gritty,” chances are it’s up her alley.

In nonfiction, whether it’s pop culture, narrative, self-help, or memoir, she loves anything that teaches her how to be a better human or look at the world through a fresh lens. Across the board, she’s always looking for diverse voices and experiences.
