Career
While working for the Minnesota legislature, Holmes began writing about television and film in her free time for sites like Television Without Pity, Vulture.com and MSNBC.[1][2] In 2007, she left her legal job and moved to New York City to dedicate her time to writing and criticism.[3] One year later, she was hired to cover pop culture for NPR.[2]
She currently writes for NPR and hosts their podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour with Stephen Thompson, Glen Weldon, and Aisha Harris.[4] Holmes also edits the Pop Culture Happy Hour blog on NPR, which was originally called Monkey See.[5]
In 2019, Holmes published her first novel, Evvie Drake Starts Over, which earned a starred Kirkus Reviews review[6] and was selected by The Today Show as a summer book club pick.[7] The novel tells the story of recently widowed Eveleth “Evvie” Drake and her unexpected friendship with Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher.[8]
Personal life
Originally from Wilmington, Delaware,[2] Holmes attended Oberlin College from 1989 to 1993. While there, she took a class on constitutional law that inspired her to go to law school.[2] She enrolled at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, graduating in 1997 and practicing law in Minnesota until 2007.[9]
