After more than fourteen years in book publishing, Jevon Bolden launched Embolden Media Group in 2017. A boutique book publishing consulting firm and literary agency, Embolden Media Group serves and represents some of the most engaging, transformative, and wonderfully diverse group of writers, speakers, activists, faith leaders, and cultural influencers. We partner with our authors from idea conception to placement with well-established traditional publishers to their own spot on bookstore shelves.

We currently represent authors in the categories of inspirational and contemporary fiction, Christian living/spiritual growth, memoir, issues on race and ethnicity, women’s issues, health and wellness, and children’s picturebook, middle grade, and young adult.

Embolden Media Group represents authors such as Faitth Brooks, Dayo Ajanaku, John Eckhardt, Sophia Ruffin, Rachael Gilbert, Kia Stephens, Linda Leigh Hargrove, Tasha Jun, Mekdes Haddis, Joshua Giles, Sharon Norris Elliott, Monica Wright Rogers, and more.
