Literary Representation

Using my twenty years in the publishing industry as an editor, writer, and now literary agent for Embolden Literary, I support well-established authors and help them find their place in the market. Offering publishing career guidance, I serve as a literary agent who will work toward securing the best and most profitable deals for my authors. Capturing and honing that “it” book concept, assisting with the development of an outstanding book proposal, presenting and placing my authors with the right publishers, negotiating contracts, and liaising between the author and their publisher for the life of the relationship are how I serve my authors best.

Testimonials

Jevon has worked with some of the most talented and passionate authors and artists. Here's what some of them had to say about working with her through the writing and editorial process.

CheriE CALBOM

Jevon is an excellent editor. She is both enjoyable and encouraging to work with and very professional as well. Her edits and creative additions are something I highly value for my manuscripts. I've worked with her for more than five years. She is one of the best editors I've had in my twenty plus career as a writer.

Cherie Calbom is a leading authority on juicing for health and detoxification. Known as The Juice Lady, TV chef, and celebrity nutritionist, she has helped in pioneering the fresh juice movement around the world. 

Braxton Cosby

Jevon is a fabulous editor with the experience and 'know-how' to format a book from front to back. She worked on my upcoming health book Fat Free For Life: 13 Principles for Guaranteed Weight Loss and Ultimate Health with Charisma House Publishing. She works well with authors and pulls the very best out of the project to make their work shine. Highly recommend her to anyone needing to find a person with an amazing editorial eye.

Delatorro McNeal II

Jevon Bolden is awesome! She is a wonderful editor who really seeks to learn the author's voice and does a masterful job of maintaining it throughout the book edit. Jevon edited my brand new book entitled, Caught Between a Dream and a Job, How to Leave the 9 to 5 Behind, and Step Into the Life You've Always Wanted. She made me feel extremely comfortable with the entire process, provided excellent recommendations and changes, and helped me take my work to the next level. She is extremely professional and personable as well, which is very refreshing. I love her dearly and highly recommend her for your next success project.

Billy Wright

Jevon Bolden's sensitivity to the intent of an artist, creative ear for poetic clarity, and her natural ability to provide compelling prose, brings out the very best for any artist who is looking to be heard.

Brian L. Curry

Jevon's spirit of excellence is very refreshing. She's efficient, effective, and able to accurately capture the essence of a writer's message and mantle and then clearly convey that to others with clarity and power. 
Her work on my project was impeccable. She's definitely top of the line and I would most definitely seek to acquire her services and skill set again.

Kara Davis, MD

Jevon and I have worked together for several years now. One of the most amazing things about her is her ability to connect with the author, and not just the manuscript. I’m convinced this is how she brings out the best in every writer she works with. I find her to be professional, efficient and capable. And since writing is not my “day job,” I needed someone like Jevon, who is attentive and respectful of both my time as well as my other obligations.

Ross Rohde

Jevon was the editor for my book Viral Jesus. She was easy to work with and very quick to respond to my questions. Her answers were always helpful. Many writers fear that an editor will change their message or take over their voice. This was clearly not the case with Jevon. She just made my book better. I highly recommend her.

Darren Schalk

I moonlight as an author; by day I’m a mild-mannered editor. And as such, I know that an editor faces a great challenge when making changes to a manuscript while trying to keep the author’s voice and intended meaning. Jevon is masterful at this. She sees the big picture and the tiny details, and truly makes the work better from start to finish. I consider her an editorial ninja--she cuts, chops, slices, and adds but once she's done, no one ever knows she was there.
