Erica McGrath

An agent with Writers House LLC (see other agents at this agency).

About

I am a junior agent actively growing my list of adult and children’s books. I’ve been at Writers House since my intern days back in 2018, since then, I’ve worked closely with the contracts department, and have supported Senior Agents Stephen Barr and Susan Cohen. Under their mentorship, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with a range of award-winning authors and illustrators including Maggie Thrash, Anna Walker, Chuck Groenink, Jared Dillian, F.C. Yee, Jeanette Winter, Stacy Innerst, and Emily Hughes.
Before joining Writers House, I studied Visual Arts and English at SUNY New Paltz and interned at not-for-profit art organizations like The Center for Photography at Woodstock and Musee Magazine. Now, combining my literary and artistic passions with my business sensibilities, I’m dying to read your work! As a Cancer sun, Virgo rising, and the eldest daughter of four siblings, I come well equipped as an intuitive, organized, and dedicated advocate. I am a passionate collaborator eager to support authors on this emotional journey to create lasting and inspiring projects.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
