Leila Campoli

An agent with Calligraph Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

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.

Leila continues to fight for authors and help them bring their ideas to fruition—not just focusing on the first book, but entire literary careers. She believes in advocating marginalized voices, counterintuitive ideas, and unique styles. She works with writers of science, business, economics, lifestyle, current events, pop culture, and literary and upmarket fiction.

This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.

Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
