Featured Mentor: Julie Ann Stewart

We are excited to announce our featured mentor of the week: Julie Ann Stewart! Julie earned an MFA from Spalding University and has published stories in Good River Review, Litro Magazine, PoemMemoirStory and Punch Drunk Press. Her story collection Water and Blood was published by Dzanc Books in April 2022 and was the winner the Dzanc Short Story Award. In her blog Sophie Speaks, Stewart explores the challenges of balancing creative work and family life, as she recopies Anna Karenina by hand as did Sophia Tolstoy for her husband. A link to the blog can be found at https://julieannstewart.com/. 

Julie is excited to meet with fellow writers and “love[s] that the mentorship program connects writers to each other.”

The last book that Julie read and loved was How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler.
