The Artists Partnership has set up a Literary and Development Department and the agency is currently packaging and executive producing a feature film project and developing a West End musical with an A-list theatre producer to open in 2015. 

Roger Charteris, CEO of The Artists Partnership said, “Making the name change to reflect the kind of company we have become and also in the way that our agents work with our clients, was the obvious next step for the agency. Co-developing and co-producing projects with our clients has been an organic progression for us. We are using our expertise and international contacts to help projects get off the ground, however creating a Development Department opens more doors for creative collaboration and gives us, both our clients and the agency, a stake in projects.”

The Artists Partnership is co-owned by Charteris and the Marcus Evans Group.  Agents working alongside Charteris include Gilly Sanguinetti, Jan Thornton, Abi Harris, Saskia Mulder, Annalisa Gordon, Zoe Stoker, and Robert Taylor.
