WCCW Board Member
Agent Appointments (In-Person), Agent Appointments (Virtual)
Round Table
Mary is interested in discussing:
Nonfiction books: Christian living, spiritual growth/theology, self-help/health
Gift books
Mary is looking for Christian living titles that grow people and the global church coming from a biblical worldview. She is also pursuing gift, design, and art-based books, in addition to books by theologically astute leaders. Mary’s placement, promotion, and writing expertise is primarily in nonfiction. She loves books that don’t sound like every other book on the Christian bookshelf. Are you willing to tell the truth? Are you courageous on the page?
Mary DeMuth is a literary agent, podcaster of the popular Pray Every Day podcast, artist, speaker, and the author of 40+ books, including Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy (Bethany, 2022). She lives in Texas with her husband and is the mom to three adult children. Find out more at marydemuth.com.
