Agent Bio

Prior to joining The Seymour Agency, Lynnette spent seventeen years freelance editing.

She worked with new writers, advanced writers, as well as New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors.

Lynnette earned a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Manitoba, where she specialized in English and French.

She excelled in Advanced Creative Writing in university and studied writing for children and teens through the Institute of Children’s Literature.

Although Lynnette was born and raised Manitoba, Canada, she now lives in Minnesota with her husband, twin girls, and many pets.

Her personal interests include reading, writing, exercising at the gym (okay, that’s a love/hate relationship), working on an assortment of crafts, all things having to do with animals (if she could own a farm, zoo, and animal shelter, she would), and enjoying time with family and friends.
