Flint has a masters in history specializing in West African history. He left his doctoral program over political issues and supported himself from that time until age 50 as a laborer, machinist and labor organizer. A long-time leftist political activist, Flint worked as a member of the Socialist Workers Party. After winning the 1993 Writers of the Future contest, he published his first novel in 1997 and moved to full time writing in 1999. Additionally, he has been editing the works of several classic SF authors, repackaging their short stories into collections and fix-up novels. Although some of his edits have engendered some controversy, the resulting story collections have been commercially successful and have succeeded in returning out of print authors to print.
