Agent Information
Agent Bio
Holly is proudest of the times her work has enabled her clients to take great leaps, whether creative or professional, to advance their careers.
She considers it an honor to be inside the process of bringing great reads into the world and a true joy to enable those books' creators to build healthy, sustainable careers.
She notes that while reading as much as she does makes it easy to become overly analytical, her favorite books are the ones so assured in their execution that her critical mind can only say, "That was fun.
How soon can we tell everyone we know about it?" .
