A winner of the most prestigious prize in American magazine journalism, the National Magazine Award, Ramsey Flynn has deep experience in a wide range of work as a reporter, writer and editor. He has worked at magazines that include Baltimore, Washingtonian, Philadelphia and New York-based Brill’s Content.
As chief editor of Baltimore magazine from 1993 to 1998, Flynn delivered a magazine that in 1994 won more awards than in any previous year. In 1998, his reportorial essay for Esquire about his own heart surgery at Johns Hopkins, “You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Died,” was also one of five finalists for the National Magazine Award for Essays & Criticism.
His definitive investigative book on Russia’s much-disputed Kursk submarine disaster, Cry From the Deep, was published by HarperCollins in 2004. Flynn has served both on camera and off in documentaries for NBC News, The History Channel and National Geographic Television.
During a five-year turn with Johns Hopkins Medicine that started in 2005, Flynn specialized in clinical features for its flagship magazine, a thrice-yearly publication aimed at 45,000 readers comprised mostly of the medical school’s faculty, alumni, students, friends and donors throughout the world.
