Katherine Flynn

Katherine Flynn is an agent with Kneerim & Williams Literary Agency. She graduated with honors in history from Johns Hopkins University and first worked at the literary agency of Nicholas Ellison/Sanford J. Greenburger Associates, Inc. in New York. She then pursued her Ph.D. in History at Brown University, where she is now A.B.D. Prior to joining Kneerim & Williams, Katherine worked at the publishing company of Bedford/St. Martin's. She has also taught English literature and composition to high school students and has worked in a rare book shop. She represents History, Biography, Current Affairs, Adventure, Nature, Pop Culture, Science, and Psychology for nonfiction and particularly loves exciting narrative nonfiction. She also represents both literary and commercial fiction, and is fond of urban or foreign locales, crime novels, insight into women's lives, biting wit, and historical settings. That said, she is open to anything that is well-written and contains a good, fresh story.
