He has also written for the Huffington Post, the ABC, DNA Magazine and FasterLouder. A graduate of Edith Cowan University's Creative Writing program, in 2015 Holden was awarded a prestigious ArtStart grant from the Australia Council for the Arts. The following year, he undertook a mentorship through the Australian Society of Authors, developing his debut novel. He is a committee member of the Peter Cowan Writers' Centre in Joondalup.

Holden is a discordant confluence of identities: a geeky rocker; a bogan who learned to speak French; and a gym junkie who has played Pokmon competitively. He may be the only writer to switch to decaf and live to tell the tale, and he's quit smoking more times than he cares to admit.
