Founded as a subsidiary of The Asian Group of Literature in 2020, ALA, The Asian Literary Agency, has offices in Sri Lanka, Canada, Belgium and India. We differentiate ourselves by welcoming our authors into a comprehensive support system that includes an agency, publicist, prize, festival, and research journal, ensuring our in-house assistance extends beyond the ordinary.
We are privileged to collaborate with a diverse array of talented writers and creators in both fiction and nonfiction, from debut novelists to international bestselling authors and award winners, as each brings unique perspectives and creativity to our projects. We strategically partner with authors, publishers, and producers to fully unlock the potential of every project, ensuring its success both domestically and in translation. We provide services across all formats and facilitate seamless adaptations for TV and film.
We boldly embrace the principles of inclusivity and non-discrimination. Guided by our motto, 'Inspired by the Silk Route,' we are committed to bridging the East and the West, fostering a vibrant fusion of cultures through art and literature.
We represent a range of fiction and non-fiction, including literary and commercial fiction, women’s fiction, narrative non-fiction, and memoirs. We collaborate directly with authors who write in English, French, Russian, Sinhalese, Spanish, Hindi, and Assamese.
We take pride in providing one-on-one support to our authors throughout the publishing process and beyond. Additionally, we manage translation rights, as well as film, audio, and theatrical adaptations of our authors' works.
