Sanford J. Greenburger Associates is a major New York literary agency. [1] It represents a wide variety of world-renowned writers, including Franz Kafka, Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as contemporary best-selling authors, such as Dan Brown and Nelson Demille.

Founded in 1932 by Sanford J. Greenburger, an agent who pioneered book scouting—that is, systematically looking for works in other international markets, in order to publish them in translation in the United States.

From 1932 to 1971, the agency was a privately owned company. Following the death of Sanford Greenburger in 1971, the agency became a partnership owned by the affiliated agents. [2] It currently has nine partner agents, foreign rights director, and support staff.

Sanford J. Greenburger Associates is known as a prestige launch pad for literary agents and book editors, many of whom began their publishing careers as assistants or junior agents at this agency. [3] Several former high-level editors and publishers have also joined the agency's staff. [4] [5]
