Holly Brickley is originally from Hope, British Columbia. She moved to the US at 18, studying English at UC Berkeley before getting an MFA in fiction from Columbia University. Instead of putting this education to any sort of literary use, she spent the next several years running around San Francisco and New York, working in market research and branding, and basically making a career of going out. She now lives with her husband and their two daughters in Portland, Oregon, where she prefers to stay in.

A Gorgeous Excitement (2025)
Cynthia Weiner
"A Gorgeous Excitement is a propulsive read filled with vivid characters and a uniquely hilarious, if impossibly sad, mother-daughter dynamic. But the real star of the book for me is the finely drawn world of pre-Giuliani New York, seedy Times Square and all, whose rampant misogyny and racism still feel brutally relevant."
