WHO WE ARE:
Sheil Land Associates is a long-established literary, theatrical and film agency dating back to 1962. We have eleven staff including six agents and their assistants, all of whom are strongly supported by friendly and experienced finance and administrative staff, making us one of the top five literary agencies in the UK.
Although we have a great list of clients and negotiate large deals, we believe in being a relatively low-key agency. Our clients are the stars, and we are the advisors, quietly and proficiently guiding, negotiating and managing their interests.
We welcome approaches from new clients of all backgrounds, whether they have been published already or are first time writers.
