Leila Campoli of Calligraph
About Leila: Leila Campoli started her career in 2011 as an editor at Palgrave Macmillan. After four years of championing authors from the publishing side of the business, she took the plunge into agenting. Spurred by a desire to say “yes” more often and a love of early-stage book development, she started building a list of authors poised to change the world with shared vulnerability and groundbreaking ideas.
What she is seeking: She works with writers of science, business, economics, lifestyle, current events, pop culture, and literary and upmarket fiction. In nonfiction, she’s particularly interested in books that offer a window into remarkable lives and ways of living. In fiction, she looks for speculative, genre-bending literary, and upmarket fiction, weird fiction leaning into horror or satire and stories set in extreme environments.
How to submit: Please send a query letter to submissions@calligraphlit.com with a brief synopsis of your work and a short bio, along with 25 pages of sample material in the body of the email (no attachments will be opened). Include the name of the agent you are querying in the subject line of the email, along with the title of your project and its genre.
________________________
What she is seeking: I specialize in upmarket, accessible nonfiction that challenges current conceptions, whether through a “big ideas” book or narrative. I am drawn to entrepreneurs and people who are innovators in their fields and writing about current affairs, business, culture, politics, technology, religion, and the environment. I am most interested in authors who have an existing platform. No memoirs please.
How to submit: Query Trena at trena [at] transatlanticagency.com with a cover letter in the body of your email and an attachment of your work (maximum 20-page writing sample/excerpt in Microsoft Word document form) along with a publishing history and synopsis. Please note if other agents are also considering the project.
