Vicky Weber’s journey into children’s literature began in the classroom. Before entering the world of publishing, she taught PreK through 4th grade music and STEAM, where she witnessed firsthand the transformative power of stories on young minds. Inspired by that impact, she published her first children’s book in late 2019. However, her initial attempts were met with disappointment—despite her enthusiasm, the first three books struggled in terms of sales. She had assumed that simply publishing would lead to success, but quickly learned that reaching readers was far more challenging than expected.

Navigating the world of publishing felt like playing 52-card pick-up—information was scattered, hard to follow, and largely targeted toward novelists, not picture book creators. Determined to find a better way, she began studying business online and drew on her husband’s expertise—he holds an MBA—while blending that knowledge with her deep understanding of children’s books. Through persistence and strategic learning, she created a system that brought success with her fourth title and began yielding real profits.

Recognizing the value of what she had learned, she founded At Home Author in 2021 to provide aspiring children’s book writers with the guidance she wished she’d had. Through coaching, resources, and actionable strategies, she has helped numerous authors find their own paths to success—many of whom have gone on to become bestsellers.

Her passion for storytelling extended into the world of agenting in 2022, when she began as an associate agent at a small boutique agency. By January 2023, she was promoted to literary agent, and in May 2024, she joined Creative Media Agency (CMA), where she now represents a broad range of adult and children’s literature. As a Latinx agent and author, she is committed to elevating underrepresented voices and believes deeply in the importance of diverse stories that allow all readers to see themselves on the page.
