Julie Wallach is a writer based in Los Angeles.

Julie grew up in Santa Monica in the 1980s, where her social world included parties at elegant homes with trimmed hedges and alongside friends who drank whiskey in the park. She straddled both worlds and found her identity amongst a wide spectrum of options, never nailing herself down to a type.

Her history shapes her writing. She works across subjects from editorial to education, law to branding, from public-facing speeches to ghostwritten longform under NDA. Like a playlist across genres, she writes across style. Think early glam rock to hard rock to folk to old country - an eclectic mix - her style varied but firmly rooted, with truth as her anchor.

In 2020, Julie was invited to testify before the California Senate, and in 2024, Senator Henry Stern named her Woman of the Year for her advocacy work. Her voice and writing appear in national interviews, campaigns, podcasts, and press, and her academic research includes 13 peer-reviewed studies on educational equity. Julie’s poetry was published in We’ve Got Some Things to Say (Amherst Writers & Artists Press), and she is currently finishing her memoir, Where Do Birds Go When It Rains?
