DeMuth Launches Eponymous Literary Agency

Writing mentor and author Mary DeMuth has launched Mary DeMuth Literary, an agency that will offer coaching and training for authors, as well as literary representation in the Christian publishing space.

DeMuth, who had been with Books & Such Literary Management since January 2021, has spent over two decades teaching writing, publishing, editing, marketing, and platform building at writers conferences, mentoring clinics, and retreats. She is author of 44 books (We Too: How the Church Can Respond to the Sexual Abuse Crisis) and the voice of the daily podcast Pray Every Day, which has over 3 million downloads.

“Since I’ve been an author for so long, and I’ve been in the trenches of publishing, I know how to equip authors in their publishing journey,” said DeMuth, who is based in Rockwall, Tex., outside Dallas. “I am thrilled to bring all of me to this new endeavor—publishing know-how, insider intelligence, and a hefty dose of creativity.”

DeMuth is primarily looking for nonfiction books in the Christian living space that are “wholly unique, beautifully written, and are bent toward the global church.” She’s also interested in helping Christian leaders launch their first books, and is looking at gift, artistic, and devotional books as well.

DeMuth, who will run the agency with one assistant, predicts acquiring about 30 clients in the next calendar year. “I’ve long been someone who pioneers, and through a lot of soul searching, seeking wise counsel and looking at my gifts, the time was right to start and agency.”
