Holly Sorensen got her start writing for magazines after a series of odd jobs. At Premiere, she rose to Senior Editor and got what she described as a “graduate course in Hollywood.”

She’s best known for her work on teen dramas like ‘Make It Or Break It’ and ‘Recovery Road,’ but she’s recently signed on to be the showrunner for YouTube Red’s first drama, ‘Step Up: High Water,’ loosely based off the ‘Step Up’ dance franchise that began with Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum.

In this interview, Sorensen describes her advice from William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), the truth about the infamous Hunter S. Thompson letter, and how to write inspirational work for young adults.
