*Amanda Elliott has nonstandard meeting times.

Amanda is an associate literary agent at Movable Type Management. Due to her lifelong desire to connect with people through their art, Amanda Elliott went back to school to obtain her MFA in Creative Writing and MA in Publishing from Rosemont College. Previously, she interned at Grosvenor Literary Agency and worked as a developmental editor, where she committed herself to helping authors achieve their most effective and authentic writing. Before making the transition to publishing, Amanda was a social worker for nearly a decade, where she developed an ear for understanding the diverse yet universal stories we all carry with us. She has worked as a foster care social worker and most recently as a homelessness advocate, and is mom to one precocious, dinosaur-loving three-year-old. 

SEEKING: She is partial to adult and young adult high-concept, thematic, and genre-blending fantasy, as well as any work of speculative fiction with cozy elements. Amanda believes the acts of making and sharing our stories to be the most therapeutic and transformative tools we have.
