Sheri Joseph

Sheri Joseph’s fourth book, ANGELS AT THE GATE, will be published in September. At a remote Southern university in the late 1980s, student Leah Gavin becomes obsessed with a classmate’s unexplained fall from the bell tower, then begins to realize the mystery might implicate people close to her. It’s a literary thriller and heartfelt coming-of-age story with a killer mixtape soundtrack.

Her previous books are the novels WHERE YOU CAN FIND ME and STRAY, and a cycle of stories, BEAR ME SAFELY OVER. She has received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and the Grub Street National Book Prize, as well as numerous residency fellowships including Yaddo and MacDowell. A resident of Atlanta, she teaches in the creative writing program of Georgia State University.
