About Me

 A lifelong story-lover and professor of anthropology, Julie Castillo has a passion for stories that explore social problems and global issues. She gravitates toward post-apocalyptic, dystopian, and survival stories that explore the human experience.

Julie Castillo is a professional writer, editor, and story coach with more than 25 years' experience in the writing and publishing industry. She has ghost-written more than a dozen books, fiction and nonfiction, including two NY Times Bestsellers (I Ain't Got Time to Bleed and Do I Stand Alone?) as well as for Ripley's Believe It or Not. 

Her professional work includes writing nonfiction books, novels, book proposals, press kits, back jacket copy, cover letters, synopses, and screenplay coverage. She has coached creative writers in developing their projects for the commercial marketplace and specializes in structuring both fiction and nonfiction.

Julie teaches creative writing and publishing in addition to topics such as anthropology, world religions, and futurism. She speaks, hosts workshops, and facilitates discussion forums at a variety of events and venues.

She is currently writing, coaching, and teaching as a digital nomad while traveling the world with her husband and two dogs.
