At The Holmes Agency, I represent non-fiction authors in the genres of business, mind/body/spirit, spirituality, health & wellness, environmental issues, science, nature, sex, relationships, literary nonfiction and memoir. I am looking for passionate, visionary writers focused on inspiring and helping to positively transform readers' lives.

With over seven years of experience as a literary agent, I have had the privilege of working with many gifted writers. Some of them are bestselling authors and well known experts their field, but what makes them truly special, from my perspective, is their deep passion for their work, and their commitment to guiding, educating, and inspiring people around the world.

I am currently open to queries, including from first time authors. However, please be aware that I don't generally represent authors without a platform.
