A writer for forty-seven years, Julie is the author of five books for writers, including "Book Magic: Turning Writers into Published Authors" (now in its third edition) and "Crafting Irresistible Query Letters that Result in Publication," and fifteen other nonfiction books. Julie's many articles and photographs have appeared in international, national, and regional publications, as well as on the Web. Today her focus is travel writing and photography.

Julie has experienced it all — commercial and self-publication, print and electronic publishing, as well as print-on-demand.

Her first non-fiction book, "Through a Canadian Periscope; the Story of the Canadian Submarine Service" (Dundurn) appeared in 1995. Not only was it hailed as “a major contribution to our naval history,” Canadian booksellers chose it for Books for Everyone for Christmas 1995 and Dundurn re-released it in a second edition in 2014 for the centenary of the Canadian Submarine Service. Her second book, "Deeply Canadian: New Submarines for a New Millennium" (Beacon Publishing), was released in the fall of 2000 electronically (commercial) and in print (POD). Now updated, it is available in its 2nd edition as an ebook with restored and additional images. "Sing a New Song: Portraits of Canada’s Crusading Bishops," again from Dundurn, came out in May 2006 and her last Dundurn book is a YA biography, "James Douglas: Father of British Columbia" that was also featured in Books for Everyone in 2009.

Since early 2001, Julie has also self-published (DIY) six books for writers, speakers, and teachers, travel journals, two family histories, one for a health authority, and sixteen photo portfolios.

Not only is Julie a successful author, she is also an accomplished professional speaker and trainer who taught for Vancouver Community College and presented at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference for nine years. From 1997 to 2010, she was also in great demand with school districts and leads sessions for teachers' professional development events and students that inspire participants to develop their writing skills while having fun. Julie's keynotes and many break-out sessions for writers include "All Aboard the Electronic Express," "Pitching in a Cold Climate, and "Create Gorgeous Family Memory Books." She is also a facilitator of one of the acclaimed Port Moody Writers' Groups that have been running for over forty years

Julie's honest, one-on-one coaching practice guides writers who seek either commercial or self-publication for their books and/or articles, as well as assists with writing promotional material, such as bios and book descriptors.
