Julie Duffy Writing (& stuff)

Attention ENTREPRENEURS! Coming soon:

I’m Julie, a writer and the host of StoryADay.org – a creative writing challenge that happens each May (and yes, you’re invited).

If you’re an entrepreneur, you’ll want to know about my Clickable Content System, so you should sign up to hear more and subscribe to my inevitable YouTube channel.

I write articles and courses to help other writers get their creative groove on, and I speak to writers’ groups and conferences about creativity, short story writing, self- and e-publishing, and social media. Want me to speak to your group? Contact me.

You can follow my writing posts on

This is my sandbox blog, where I share what I learn about writing and other stuff about my life as a human, a mother, an ex-pat, a cook, a gardener, a knitter, and all the rest. (I don’t talk about being a wife much, because my husband’s a bit shy.)

Welcome!
