Send a Query to Nour Sallam at The Caldwell Agency

Hello there!

I'm a literary agent at The Caldwell Agency representing adult fiction and nonfiction. My full wishlist can be found at my website www.noursallam.com. Please take a moment to review it to see if I'd be a good fit for your work! 

Submission guidelines:

Your query letter:

  • Please keep your query letter to 3-4 paragraphs.
  • Make sure you include the following in your query letter (yes, even if this info is included elsewhere in this form): title, genre, word count, 2-3 comparative titles, a brief and compelling overview of your project, and your author bio.
  • An additional ask for nonfiction projects: please include a brief overview of your target audience in your query letter as well.

Sample pages :

  • For fiction projects, please include the first 10 pages of your manuscript. Don't worry about your pages cutting off mid-chapter or mid-scene— that's okay! 

  • For nonfiction projects, please include a brief outline of your project and 5 pages of a sample chapter (or other writing).
