Amy Thrall Flynn

An agent with Aevitas Creative Management (see other agents at this agency).

About

Amy Thrall Flynn has 20 years of experience in children’s book publishing. She started her career as an editor at the former Houghton Mifflin Books for Children in Boston, where she trained under industry legends Walter Lorraine and Anita Silvey. Among the dozens of talented creators she had the honor and pleasure of working with are Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop, whose The Snake Scientist launched the long-running acclaimed Scientists in the Field series; award-winning nonfiction picture book author-illustrator Don Brown; artist James Rumford; storyteller Alice McGill; and Olivier Dunrea and his beloved Gossie & Friends series. Amy also worked as an elementary school teacher before she joined Rubin Pfeffer Content in 2019.

As an agent, she represents writers and illustrators of fiction and nonfiction for children, from picture books to young adult novels. She is thrilled to work with a growing list of clients including Julien Chung, Ellen Surrey, Federico Gastaldi, Carter Higgins, Wendell Minor, Heather Montgomery, Rob Sanders, Lina Maslo, Dan Paley, Robyn McGrath, Mk Smith Despres, Jennifer Richter, Tommy Greenwald, Charlie Greenwald, Dana VanderLugt, and Nadine Pinede.

A cum laude graduate of Middlebury College with a major in American Literature and a minor in Spanish, Amy studied in Madrid and at Oxford. She holds an M.A. in English and an additional Master of Arts degree in Children’s Literature from Simmons University. She has a passion for the collaborative editorial process and is drawn to beautifully written and compelling stories and topics, with an underlying guiding belief in the power of books to connect, inspire, and affirm the lives of young people.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
