Announcing Nour Sallam as our Reviews Editor

Shrapnel enthusiastically welcomes Nour Sallam to our team as Reviews Editor! She will be spearheading the reviews section of the magazine, curating a celebrated selection of books that represent the bizarre and experimental ethos of the magazine.

Nour Sallam (she/ her) lives and works on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation (Ottawa, ON). Nour has previously worked in editing, podcasting, communication, and journalism.

She loves books of any genre that feature BIPOC characters, complex and nuanced histories, or touch on social and political issues. Other loves include the serial comma, coffee, the smell of the ocean, and a good thrift find.

We look forward to the passion and insight that Nour will bring to the book reviews Shrapnel publishes. Inquiries regarding our review section can be sent to her at reviews@shrapnelmagazine.com.
