Sheyla Knigge, Agent at High Line Literary Collective

Publishing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get- at least not
from Sheyla.

After years spent sleuthing through the slush piles for colleague Victoria Marini, Sheyla is now
building her own bookshelf of clients with stories from children’s books to adult projects.
The common thru line you’ll find from Sheyla’s list is they are projects she is utterly enamored
with from start to finish.

When she’s not reading you can undoubtedly find Sheyla in the mountains or in a tattoo shop.
There’s truly no in between.
