About Julie
MFA, creative writing, Lesley University
BA, cognitive psychology, University of Notre Dame
Julie Patterson began writing at age nine, sneaking out of bed at night to hide in the closet and write fictionalized retellings of the day’s events by flashlight. In the decades since she has published poetry, journalism, and creative nonfiction while also writing everything from advertising copy and market research reports to sponsorship proposals and training manuals at her “day jobs.”
She has also taught writing as a visiting artist in grades pre-K-12 and an adjunct English professor working with undergraduates. LEARN MORE >
