Georgana Grinstead began her career as a corporate and nonprofit media specialist. She studied at the University of Texas in Austin before earning a degree in public relations and advertising from Georgia College State & University. Romance books, although not on the official curriculum, were her favorite subject then and continue to be long after graduation.

Her professional and personal lives inevitably came together in 2012, when she began blogging as a new wave of romantic fiction swept the literary world. Her knowledge of social media and her passion for promoting authors led her to a boutique public relations firm as a publicist, where she learned the industry from the inside out. Now, Georgana heads her own firm, Valentine PR & Literary Management, and is thrilled to utilize the full force of her knowledge and contacts to bring HEA’s to wider audiences everywhere.

Georgana is also a literary agent with The Seymour Agency.

After getting bit by the reading bug, Valentine decided to come back home and work for the family company which is aptly named after her.

Valentine now lives in Atlanta, GA, where you can find her shopping, traveling to new places, discovering new restaurants and spending time with her rescue dog Millie. She loves working with authors and meeting influencers to discuss books.
