Amy Holder ♥ Author of Teen Fiction

Television Rights

So...I've been dying to share this news for a while now, but wanted to wait until it went out in Publishers Marketplace. Here's the official PM announcement:

Television rights: Amy Holder's THE LIPSTICK LAWS, to producer Teri Weinberg's Yellow Brick Road Productions (The Office, Ugly Betty, The Tudors), by Jerry Kalajian of the Intellectual Property Group.

Yay!!!! I am especially excited because I love Teri's work. Did I say love? I mean LURRRRVVVVE! I'm a huge fan & couldn't be happier for my book to be in her hands! Big thanks to my film agent, Jerry Kalajian for representing me on this!

"Holder presents the teen milieu through realistic dialogue and situations, and lightens heavy moments with humor. The protagonist is well developed, and her struggles and gradual self-realizations are believable as she ultimately finds true friends and the self-confidence to make the right choices."
