Julie Kingsley

Julie is a lifelong Mainer passionate about changing the world with stories. She’s co-host of The Manuscript Academy podcast and co-founder of The Manuscript Academy.

When she’s not actively writing, critiquing, podcasting, or reading too much, you might find her hugging a tree on a nice hike, enjoying a good paddle, or camping in the woods. She’s been putting on live retreats for the last decade, and believes when humans come together that is when the magic happens.
