Hi! I'm Julia, a 22 year old author based in São Paulo, Brazil.
I'm currently working on the second draft of my first novel. Here and on Instagram, you can follow my journey getting it done and ready for querying, while I share some tips I've been picking up along the way.
It's a challenge to navigate traditional publishing, especially when you're not based where you want to get your book out. Here you'll find everything I'm learning along the way, including:
Communities and Courses
There are a lot of websites and groups where you can meet other writers and instructors from all around the world!
Writing Resources
I'm working on my own writing resources, but I've gathered the ones that have worked best for me in the meantime.
Who to talk to
It can be hard know who to search for when you're starting out, so I've compiled some people for you to get in touch with!
Tips and Advice
Everything you need to know to start your own journey with your book and actually make it through.
Book Recs
Recent comp titles are extremely important for your query letter, so new reads are very important to keep track of!
My Journey
Last but not least, some of my own writing journey, from getting that first draft done and what's ahead after that.
