Christy Ewers, has been rooted in the children's literature industry since her mother, Chris, started a children’s illustration agency in 1994. Christy joined as an agent in 2013, and took over when Chris retired in 2018. She named it The CAT Agency. With a degree in English/Journalism and decades of experience in various creative fields, Christy works closely with the entire “family” of artists, spearheading book deals for CAT Agency illustrators, as well as working alongside the authors in the group to help craft their stories and hone their writing for young readers.

In 2026, Christy becomes a published children’s book author herself! Her debut picture book, OWL CAPONE, hits shelves in September from Flamingo Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. A sequel is scheduled to publish in the Fall of 2027.

Aside from writing, her interests include running long distances, seaside escapes, very hot coffee and pitbulls. Her family welcomed their pitbull, Leia (as in Princess), into the family in 2020, and rescued another, Carl, in 2023.

Her husband, Chris Ewers, is an artist, too, as a talented cinematographer and film-maker (www.christopherewers.com). They have 2 children, Billie & Finnegan, who inspire everything. Billie has 13 years of experience in the world, and is a fan of everything and anything “girly” & middle-grade. At age 10, Finn is devouring graphic novels & all things baseball-related.
