Umbrella Literary is a full-service agency founded by publishing insiders: Meghan Dietsche Goel, Whitney Manger, and Catherine Onder. 

We offer unified literary and booking representation for authors and illustrators of children’s, YA, and new adult books. Our focus includes guiding projects to the right publishers and supporting creators at every stage of a book’s journey, growing careers through community engagement and paid events.	

We met 25 years ago in the editorial department at HarperCollins Children’s Books. Since then, our careers have taken us down three distinct but complementary paths, across editorial, publishing leadership, design, art direction, indie bookselling, and literary events. 

Together, we bring our fields of expertise under one umbrella to support children’s book creators in a holistic, strategic way. When you work with one of us, you work with all of us—three seasoned industry voices collaborating on your behalf.
