Salky Literary Management (SLM) is a boutique literary management agency. And it’s new, having been established in 2019. “We represent authors whose stories inspire us. If you are a SLM or CSLA client, you are part of a group of authors that are changing the world through their stories. We are proud to stand in service of that mission.”

Salky has four agents, but for new authors, your best bet is probably with their least established agent:

Rachel Altemose is a junior agent and has been with Salky Literary Management since its inception. Prior to SLM, she interned at Eden Street Literary Agency and attended the Columbia Publishing Course.

Rachel is seeking picture books, Middle Grade, and Young Adult manuscripts. She’s also interested in literary fiction for adults and in narrative/serious nonfiction.

Rachel is a lifelong lover of storytelling and graduated from Vassar College with degrees in English and drama. She is interested in a diverse array of genres (children’s through adult) and is particularly keen on narratives with unique voices, diverse perspectives, immersive settings, complicated familial relationships, young/twenty-something protagonists, magical realism/surrealism, or experimental style.
