Julie’s WHY: To inspire and educate people so that the world sees the beauty in disability.
Julie Fisher (Jules) joined the Ultimate 48 Hour Author team in September 2020 as the new Publications Coordinator alongside Vivi helping our authors with their book projects through the many stages of publishing.
She began her journey with Ultimate 48 Hour Author in 2019 as one of our authors when she signed up for retreat in May 2019. After attending retreat, she had her first book The Unexpected Journey published and in hand by September 2019. This was the story about her son Darcy who lives with Down Syndrome.
Julie continued to attend Masterclasses and other events with us as well as providing testimonials regularly at our half day events when they moved online. She continued to learn all the aspects of writing a book by attending the events and went from simply writing a memoir to becoming a well-known advocate in the disability sector.
She has 18 years’ experience working in an office environment as well as 13 years’ experience in the hospitality industry where she grew in confidence with customer service.
After completing her first book, she was thrilled to be offered the opportunity of working with Ultimate 48 Hour Author as one of her first loves is with writing. She fulfilled a lifelong dream of writing her first book and now thoroughly enjoys helping others fulfill their dream of becoming an author.
Julie has also recently published her second book The Magic of Inclusion and is enjoying speaking publicly and raising awareness for her son and others that live with disability.
She says, ‘This is a dream come true working with my mentors and helping others bring their books to life. I also love the opportunity of learning more from the team and look forward to many years with them”.
Julie has also published The Magic of Inclusion, From the Hearts of Mums and is writing her 4th book whilst also being a highly paid speaker that is raising awareness for her son and others that live with disability.
