Louise Julig

I am a creative nonfiction writer living in in Southern California. I write mostly personal essays and flash nonfiction, but I also have a weird compunction to read slightly embarrassing true stories in front of a bar full of people at the VAMP storytelling showcase in San Diego. My newsletter, Be Your Own Hero, about being brave in small moments, comes out approximately monthly. I live on unceded Kumeyaay lands, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. Find my essays, performances, and upcoming events at www.louisejulig.com.

 

All purchases through Bookshop help independent bookstores, and in 2023, my portion of the affiliate earnings from this shop will be donated to the Strong Hearted Native Women's Coalition in San Diego County.
