Cathie Hedrick-Armstrong is a literary agent at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency with
nearly a decade of industry experience. A life-long lover of books, Cathie enjoys
vivid memories of the exact moment she unlocked the secret code behind the
letters that, when combined, form words. Since then, it’s the rare occasion when
she’s without a book in hand, a Kindle in her purse, or a pair of AirPods in her
ears while devouring the works of whatever author is her new favorite of the
month.
Born and raised in Oklahoma, Cathie is a 1992 graduate of the University of
Oklahoma where she earned a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in history. She
currently resides in Minnesota where she and her husband of 33 years share two
grown children, a son-in-law, and a precocious black lab-mix named Ozzy.
