Christian Literary Agents Eye Diversity, Expansion By Ann Byle | Jan 13, 2021
A surge of new literary agents and agencies are drawing on years of experience in Christian publishing in order to meet a growing demand for fresh voices, broaden the industry’s author pool, and help houses eager to reach mainstream readers. Among these new agents are book industry veterans who are interested in shepherding a new generation of Christian writers, including more people of color, into a wider market.
“It’s a great day to be representing Christian writers in the general market,” says Don Pape, formerly publisher of NavPress. He launched Pape Commons: a gathering of voices, on January 1, which will represent nonfiction, fiction, and some children’s projects to general trade publishers as well as Christian houses. Among his clients is singer/songwriter and author Charlie Peacock.
