Who Is This Weirdo?
The ancient Irish called people like me Seanchai, or storyteller. The yarn spinner, the historian, the keeper of lore.
I’ve told stories my whole life: I started as an avid reader and evolved to writing fiction-by-request for my friends at sleepovers (spoiler: they always found true love).
My career brought me to some of the most hallowed halls of publishing, writing custom content for brands you’ll definitely recognize.
From there, I went to work directly for clients. Add strategy, collaboration, creativity, and a knack for communicating with my friends solely by meme, and that’s me in a nutshell.
Working With Me: The Vibes
I Love A Whiteboard
What’s nearsighted and loves brainstorming meetings? ME. Weird? Yes. True? Also yes. I live for collaboration. I want to meet your designers, your editors, your clients, your stakeholders. If there’s anyone who wants to jump in on this creative process, tell them to come sit by me.
I Bow At The Altar Of The Two-Headed Creative God
That’s Design & Copy. They should work with each other, be flexible, and collaborate—always. Your CD says the headline can only be one word that’s three letters long? Y-E-S I can!
I’ve Got This
Working with me means we meet every deadline (even the truly wild ones), button-up every revision, and predict possible issues before they become big problems. You’ve got enough to worry about. I’ve got this.
There’s No “I” In “Ego”
It’s my (admittedly, unscientific) belief that most of the world’s problems are caused by ego. I believe in establishing and nurturing a drama-free environment rooted in collaboration and true respect. That is where teams, especially creative teams, are empowered to do their best work.
I Don’t Make It Complicated.
I write the way I speak, minus the swearing. It’s how I connect with your audience. Marketing speak is the absolute woooorst.
I Will Be Your Hype Woman
You think your mom is proud? Just wait. I love to talk up the people, brands, and projects that I believe in. I understand the value of what you have to say, and so I will make sure your audience hears it.
I’ve Got You
I know that it can be nerve-wracking to put your work out there for the world to pick apart. It’s my goal to make sure you’re successful. We’re in this together.
We’ll Do This Again
I mean this in the least-stalker-y way possible: You’ll never get rid of me. Most of my freelance work comes from folks I’ve worked with before, and I value the connections I’ve made in the creative industry. I have gotten to work with the absolute best of the best, so I am always excited when I can do it again. This is just the beginning for us.
Timing Is Everything.
My career timeline, so far:
-Started big with my first gig-Rolling Stone Magazine. Hired as an Advertising Assistant, I was promoted to Copywriter within two years.
-Next up, Book Of The Month Club. I got to keep the books (score!). I still have some.
-Back to big leagues as Copywriter at New York Magazine.
-For my next trick, I took a detour into the wellness space at Weider Media, writing for Shape Magazine, Star Magazine, Fit Pregnancy, Natural Health.
-Be still my shopper’s heart: My next stint was one of my favorites, Lucky Magazine. Named Copy Director, it the first of many gigs at Condé Nast.
-Whiplash: New York Magazine calls me back, this time to their new downtown digs, to serve as Copy Director.
-Next, I took a leap, kicking off my freelance career with long term gigs at Lucky & Bon Appetit.
-Called upon by some of my favorite former colleagues (and lured by the free beauty samples), I took a permalance role at Allure Magazine as Copy Director.
-A few years later, the Lucky Magazine crew had a sort-of reunion, with many of us flocking to serve at Women’s Wear Daily/Fairchild, where I was Copy Director.
-After that, I landed my first gig at Time Inc Corporate, later to become The Foundry (the parent company now known as People Inc.). There, I strategized and wrote for Time, People, In Style, Cooking Light, serving as Copy Director and working closely with the entire creative team.
-Then your girl made a big move: Let Julia Write It LLC launched as a side-to-permanent hustle, with clients including MILK Studios, FLOS USA, Liquid IV, Chrissy Tiegen, Condé Nast Publications, Meredith Inc., NBC Universal, Marley Beverage Co., Walmart, Cosmetics Executive Women, P&G Dagne Dover & more.
-Next, I made my way to retail, serving Gabe’s Stores & Old Time Pottery as the Senior Creative Director.
-These days I get creative with longterm projects through Let Julia Write It, like this one.
