Agent Bio
Nancy attended Williams College where she received a BA in English.
For nearly 25 years she worked selling subsidiary rights for children’s books imprints at Viking, HarperCollins, Morrow, and Greenwillow.
In 2000, she founded the Nancy Gallt Literary Agency in order to represent a wide-ranging list of authors and illustrators.
Publishing was always her dream job – getting paid to read books – though it turned out the editorial side was not her forte.
Nancy’s children claim she must have been the definition of “nerd” in her youth, though she is proud to say that she’s never been bored, no matter what she’s doing.
She avoids reading books in which children are endangered or abused.
There’s enough true suffering in the world that she prefers not to read about it.
She loves books that entertain and enlighten, with characters that could be treasured friends.
