Julie Mathison

Welcome! I write novels that seek to transport and enrich readers while entertaining them. I founded my imprint, Starr Creek Press, on the principle of "books, not boxes," and the idea that a good book should transcend its genre and be satisfying to readers of any age. My novels have won awards and contests from Writer's Digest, Publisher's Weekly's BookLife, the Eric Hoffer Book Award and others, but it's hearing from readers that really makes my day. So, if you like what you've read, reach out.

I do review books I'm reading now, but I've borrowed Katherine Arden's policy which is to give everything I like 5 stars, and if a book didn't grab me, I don't review it. It takes a lot to write a novel, so if you've done that much, full marks -- we

Yet through all these endeavors, I've always known my true calling was storytelling. I'm a huge nerd and draw my inspiration from actual history and RPGs, particularly video games (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Horizon, Dark Souls...). I write "approachable" fantasy that is meant to be an escape from all of our real-world trials and tribulations while subtly (and not-so-subtly) challenging the status quo.
