About Us

Queer and Black woman-owned, The Caldwell Agency specializes in literary representation and management with a personal touch. Founded in 2025 by Patrice Caldwell, TCA combines passion with strategy and transparency with partnership to build careers that honor our clients’ whole selves.

We embrace DEIA as a core tenet of our agency and treat our clients as essential partners in our business—because they are. With their input and consent, we may leverage trends, but we don’t follow them.

With a robust client portal featuring industry news and resources, we empower clients to better understand and navigate our ever changing industry. After all, book publishing is a business—and your career is yours.

No matter where you are on your journey, together we’ll craft the path that’s right for you. And we’ll be right by your side, strategizing and partnering every step of the way.
