Leila Campoli
Stonesong Literary Agency
My Manuscript Wish List®
Leila Campoli began her publishing career at Macmillan, after graduating with a BA in English Literature from Boston University. She joined Stonesong as an agent in 2015 and was listed as a PW Star Watch 2017 Honoree. Leila is committed to championing new and minority perspectives, counterintuitive ideas, and unique style. She handles writers of science, lifestyle, current events, pop culture, literary and upmarket fiction. In nonfiction she’s particularly interested in books that offer a window into remarkable lives and little-known operations. In fiction, she looks for speculative, genre-bending literary and upmarket fiction. Weird fiction leaning into horror or satire. Stories set in extreme natural environments: sea, desert, forest, city.
