just write julie: the podcast
Just Write Julie is a writing podcast where craft meets strategy. Each episode helps writers not only strengthen the work on the page, but also learn how to position it, communicate about it, and advocate for it with clarity and confidence.
Most writing podcasts stay in one lane—this one brings three together: craft, career, and communication—through conversations with authors, editors, marketers, and storytellers who understand that talent is only the beginning.
If you want to write better and be more strategic about how you share your work, this show is for you.

In this episode of Just Write Julie, I’m joined by Shelby Holt—film and television casting associate and novelist querying The Bones of December—to talk about revising messy drafts and the mindset shifts that matter as much as the craft. We also unpack how our understanding of publishing has evolved and why revision is less about “fixing” and more about discovering what the story is truly asking for.
In this episode of Just Write Julie, I’m joined by Allison Buehner, founder of Golden Editorial, to demystify what editing really is—from high-impact self-editing (without perfectionism) to knowing when feedback is a craft problem vs. a craft choice. We also break down trad vs. indie editing timelines and how to navigate beta readers, critique partners, and editors without losing your voice.
