Alythia Conner
Alythia Conner (aka Aly Brown) has been writing fantasy novels for nearly two decades, starting when she was 19 years old and expecting her first child. With a huge life-course change underway, she decided to chase her publishing dreams. From there, she spent 10 years querying (and getting rejected by) literary agents until she finally signed with BookEnds LLC. During that time of querying, however, she became a journalist and editor-in-chief, which actually led to a new opportunity: publishing nonfiction. In 2020, she and her agent landed a trade deal with Feiwel and Friends (a Macmillan imprint) for a nonfiction middle grade book, THE LAST UNEXPLORED PLACE ON EARTH, which she published under Aly Brown.
Why two names? Alythia Conner writes fantasy novels. Look for middle grade and children’s books under Aly Brown.
