Julie Murphy

Julie Murphy splits her time between Texas and Kansas with her husband who loves her and her cats who tolerate her.

A former librarian, Julie is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of books for all ages including Dumplin’ (now a film on Netflix and one of TIME Magazine's 100 Best YA Books of All Time), Dear Sweet Pea, and If the Shoe Fits. She is also the co-author of the Christmas Notch series with Sierra Simone.

Julie has been featured by Good Morning America, Teen Vogue, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and more. When she’s not writing or reliving her reference desk glory days, she can be found watching made-for-TV movies, hunting for the perfect slice of cheese pizza, and planning her next great travel adventure.

Julie is also the founder of Bittersweet Books, a story production and intellectual property company. To learn more about Bittersweet, visit bittersweet-books.com.
