Intro Paragraph

Regardless of the medium and technology of delivery, books have the power to inform and inspire, to explain and illuminate, to challenge and engage. They reach people their authors never directly encounter and incite spiritual, intellectual, personal, and relational change for years after they are first engaged.

Since 1992, Wolgemuth & Associates has specialized in the literary representation of Christian authors, assisting them with excellence in stewarding their publishing endeavors.

The humbling joy of agenting calls him to serve clients by stewarding their work with wisdom and diligence, and striving to see that the resulting resources are delivered to readers with excellence. This takes many forms including advising clients throughout the ideation and publishing processes; serving as their advocate, sounding board, and representative; and doing his best to ensure that there’s follow-through and timeliness on all fronts.

of the publishing process and the collaboration that it takes to effectively launch a book in the marketplace. Throughout the process, Erik is both sobered and energized by the privilege of stewarding a God-honoring message.

Erik is blessed to call Kendal his wife and fills his hours away from work playing with their three kids. Living in Colorado is wonderful if you love the outdoors, which he does. He’s always ready (unless the Jayhawks are playing basketball) for some cycling, hiking, camping, running, etc. Perhaps the one thing that would pull him away from representation is a cycling career, but – at this point – the odds aren’t good. And he loves to read. He’s never without a stack in his “to-read” pile.

About WOLGEMUTH & ASSOCIATES

History of W&A – Column LEFT

On March 2, 1992, Robert Wolgemuth and Michael Hyatt hung a shingle as literary agents. Entrepreneurial veterans of the book publishing business, Robert recalls that, “Having the chance to share and shape the dreams of gifted authors and then work alongside their publishers as an ally was a thrill.” It remains so for the W&A team to this day.
In 1998, Michael returned to a leadership and management role inside a publishing house, and in the Fall of 2005, Erik and Andrew joined Robert at the agency. Austin joined in May 2011, and this core team has now worked together for nearly a decade.
