Cheryl joined Nancy Yost Literary Agency in 2018 as the director of subrights. She also represents a select list of clients.

Cheryl worked for The Associated PressÕs International TV news and Corporate Communications departments and graduated from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. She became a part-time assistant in a literary agency in 1999 (with a side hustle of travel book writing) and has sold domestic, foreign and other subsidiary rights for many NYT and internationally bestselling fiction and non-fiction authors of Young Adult, picture book, middle-grade, and adult audience titles. She is a member of the Association of American Literary Agents and is part of its International Committee; you can see her profile here: https://aalitagents.org/author…

Cheryl is currently closed to queries. In the future, she will be looking for upmarket and book club women’s fiction, page-turning debuts from U.S. and international writers, and excellent character-driven psychological mysteries in the vein of Tana French. On the non-fiction side, she’d love to see narrative that challenges the generational status quo. As an adoptee born during the Baby Scoop era, she is especially seeking something in the vein of AMERICAN BABY that breaks societal taboos and creates empathy for everyone touched by adoption. And a huge lover of animals, she is searching for original and uplifting true stories that promote kindness to animals and a better awareness of our place in the world with them.
