Writer, Editor & Teacher

"Amy Grace Loyd is an incredibly insightful and intelligent editor, one of the best I’ve ever worked with. A wonderful writer herself, she has acquired and edited for some of the best literary publications and outlets in the country. More impressive than her resume, though, is her rare ability to help an author discern the intent and scope of a piece, to go deeper, to find the meaning behind the style. I’ve never written a story for Amy that she didn’t make substantially better."
Jess Walter, author of the national bestseller The Cold Millions and #1 New York Times bestseller Beautiful Ruins
THE AFFAIRS OF OTHERS
“[A] mesmerizing debut…. beautifully, even feverishly described. As Celia discovers, the magnetic pull of other people's everyday experiences proves impossible to resist.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Loyd succeeds at the most difficult task for such a circumscribed setting—making the granular details of her characters’ travails feel as though they added up to more than the sum of their parts.”
—The New Yorker
“From start to finish, Loyd’s prose flows exquisitely through the story, as she limns the depths of the protagonist’s mind, the complexity of human intimacy, and the idiosyncrasies of each new character with the grace of a seasoned novelist.”
—Vanity Fair
“Celia’s journey is beautifully charted in this debut, with prose that mirrors her existence in her barely furnished apartment—confined, spare, but swirling with fierce emotion and insights.”
