Holly Lorizncz is no longer agenting. We wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors. ~ Brian
At MacGregor Literary, Holly Lorincz has been
promoted to agent. She will focus on representing contemporary and
historical romance, political or conspiracy thrillers, women’s fiction,
literary fiction, and both literary and classic westerns.
Holly has
a degree in Journalism as well as a MAT focused in writing and literature. She
was the editor of the literary magazine Perceptions
and then became a high school and college instructor for fifteen years.
After an extended illness, Holly has redefined
herself, now living the dream of every college graduate with an English degree:
she’s published a novel and is a full time MacGregor Literary agent, mentored
by the well-known Chip MacGregor.
Residing
on the Oregon coast with her son, Holly works out of the MacGregor Literary
office one block from the Pacific, huddled next to the heater and coffee pot.
She is well aware of the shifting role of a literary agent. While seeking
traditional publishers for her authors, she also closely works with clients on
alternative publishing options, career development, marketing plans, and media
training.

Thank you, Brian, for posting my bio here. I appreciate the
spotlight. I would, however, caution authors seeking my attention to be
patient after they email me queries; I am receiving over a hundred queries a
day. I am trying my absolute hardest to get back to everyone but it's going to
be weeks before I can work my way down the list.
