Agent Bio

Salma is seeking confident, immersive, ambitious, narrative-driven writing.

She works under the tenet that quality need not be to the sacrifice of commercial success.

Having come from editorial at Picador (Pan Macmillan), Zaffre and Manilla Press (Bonnier Books UK), she is keenly aware of what it takes for a book to win a publishing contract.

As an agent, Salma works closely on manuscript development while always considering marketability and timing to give her authors the best shot at finding their readership.
