Lilly Ghahremani

Lilly Ghahremani is an attorney who now uses her powers for good as a literary agent. After graduating from UCLA Law School, she joined a small law firm that represented textbook authors.

As an agent, she works closely with clients to strategize a longer career of creative productivity and satisfaction.
