Victoria Holmes is a professional editor, literary coach, editor, and affectionately called “A Gift” by her clients. Her experience and seemingly unending repertoire of literary expertise has been continually fine-tuned over the last decade and half. 

She was raised and currently resides in Gainesville, Florida. Victoria is proud of the education she received within the Alachua County School District. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in English with Minors in Sociology and Mass Communications from the University of Florida in 2008. Victoria also pursued and earned her Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) with a concentration in secondary education and creative writing from the University of Central Florida in 2012.

Victoria has been a writer since she was a child. Unsurprisingly, during her youth and school years, all of her teachers [in some way] told her, “You will change the world with your ability to make words come alive!” The aforementioned proclamation, was foretold by Victoria’s 12th Grade English Honors teacher… Mr. Brian Bromberg. Apparently, he was right!

Her gifting has allowed her to impact the lives and stories of hundreds of authors (first-timers and veterans). Victoria has been sharing her love of “all things literary” with Florida’s students since 2009. As a professional educator (of middle schoolers to college freshman/sophomores), her students love her as much as her clients! She has often been deemed “The Cool Teacher, The Favorite Teacher, and the “I Need Help w/My Math Ms. Holmes, although you’re my “English Teacher,” Teacher. Victoria also earned the deserving honor of “Teacher of the Year,” in 2010.

Although, Victoria’s literary calling keeps her extremely busy, she occasionally manages to relax by spending time with her family and spoiling her niece and nephews, that she loves beyond her ability to articulate (go figure)! She is also a culinary enthusiast, that loves to cook when she gets into that groove or mood (maybe one day she will add a restaurant to her lists of accomplishments). Victoria loves reading/writing, traveling, shopping, and pampering herself as well!
