🎉 Big birthday news! Today I turn 39… and I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially signed with literary agent @WCRice3D at WordLink, Inc.! This is a HUGE milestone and the start of something truly exciting. It all begins with Love & Honeybuns 💗 #AuthorLife #Dream

📍Chicago Ready to present “From Book One to Beyond” at the @ChicagoSF2026 Writers' Conference tomorrow! 📕

Launched #JustWriteJulie in January to talk craft, career & communication through #storytelling—figured I’d get a few listens from friends and family. But some of my top listeners are in Ireland and Hong Kong… and I don’t know anyone there. A reminder that our words travel 🌍

I accidentally turned the @chicagobulls into a case study in #storytelling + #publishing🏀 Transitional seasons (on the court + on the page) aren’t about the record. They’re about what you do in the quiet when nobody’s clapping. 🔗 authorjulienavickas.com/post/what-do-t… #NBA #ChicagoBulls

When I first published my Inkspell titles, I wrote in third person. Years (and many manuscripts) later, I realized my storytelling voice had shifted toward deeper intimacy, emotional immediacy, and character-driven narration. 📖 Read the full #blog: authorjulienavickas.com/post/first-per…

I just submitted my final draft of I Loved You Yesterday to @inkspellpub 🎉 The second edition of this romance re-releases March 17! Here’s what you can expect: ➡️ elevated storytelling ➡️ 1st person POV ➡️ deeper connections ➡️ stronger characters Same great story 💛

I’m thrilled to be re-releasing the Trading Heartbeats trilogy in first-person POV, written with more heart, more nuance, and a deeper exploration of the complexities of love and relationships. Same stories. Same characters. Just a higher level of storytelling! 📚♥️

I’m so honored to join the @TEDxNormal speaker lineup this spring! My talk will focus on the silence that comes after applause and how we grow in that space more than in any milestone. I hope you join me this April! Grab your tickets today! 🎤 tedxnormal.net/team/julie-nav…

@WCRice3D Thank you, Chip! 💕

Best of luck, Julie! Your #podcast will be a great contribution to the #WritingCommunity.

Im ready to record the first episode of #JustWriteJulie! 🎙️ Everything starts somewhere, sometimes with very humble beginnings. For me, that means a corner of my bedroom with a new mic that I may or may not have selected just because it’s pink.

Anyone who knows me knows this: I love The Lord of the Rings. 🧙‍♂️✨ With this month marking the 25th anniversary of Fellowship of the Ring, I took a moment to pen a love letter to Middle-earth—how it found me, shaped me, and never let go.
