Karen Kingsbury, the bestselling author crowned the “Queen of Christian Fiction” by Time magazine, has signed with UTA for representation in all areas.
Kingsbury has published nearly 100 novels and sold more than 30 million copies in the U.S. Her catalog includes the multi-generational Baxter family series, as well as bestsellers such as “Someone Like You,” “The Bridge,” “One Tuesday Morning,” “Even Now,” “Angels Walking” and more. Since 2004, Kingsbury has remained the high-selling author in Christian fiction.
UTA has also signed Kingsbury’s son, Tyler Russell, as a writer and director. Russell has directed theatrical feature films adapted from Kingsbury’s novels through their Karen Kingsbury Productions. “The Christmas Ring,” from 2025, starred Kelsey Grammer and Ben Hollingsworth, grossing $1.2 million over two weekends. And 2024’s “Someone Like You” earned three extensions to its limited theatrical run from Fathom Entertainment, grossing almost $6 million at the domestic box office. It’s Fathom’s second highest-grossing live-action original film of all time.
Kingsbury’s Christmas titles “Maggie’s Christmas Miracle,” “The Bridge” and “A Time To Dance” were adapted and released by The Hallmark Channel, and her long-running Baxter series was adapted to series by Amazon MGM Studios with actors Roma Downey and Ted McGinley. Her television credits also include Netflix’s “A Thousands Tomorrows,” adapted from her 2005 novel.
Kingsbury is also a public speaker, women’s advocate and influential figure in the faith space. She has headlined conferences including Women of Joy, Extraordinary Women, Fresh Grounded Faith and Favored Women.
She continues to be represented by her attorney, Craig Wagner.
