Meet the Author
Hello!
Hi there— I’m Julia, the author behind Proof & Prose.
Aside from being a seasoned bookworm and blogger, I’m an amateur potter, devoted cat mom, avid traveler, and self-proclaimed foodie. But stories have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I read a mix of fiction and non-fiction, current and historical events, social sciences, sci-fi, thriller, and everything in between.
I believe books are best enjoyed with good conversation and something delicious in hand. Whether you’re here for your next great read, a new drink recipe, or looking for some inspiration for your next literary adventure, welcome! You’ll find a mix of honest reviews, immersive pairings, and a love for storytelling that runs deep.
What Proof & Prose is All About
Proof & Prose is all about connecting readers through playful imagination. We read all genres. We don’t shame others if a book we love is another’s DNF (Did Not Finish). We’re open to all readers at all reading levels. We’re the book club that everyone can join.
At the end of the day, I am successful when readers feel inspired to mix up a cocktail or mocktail, crack open a book, and share in the experience of what books can bring into our life.
But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that books can be serious business. They’re political, they’re controversial, and they’re doorways that bring awareness to difficult topics. So while Proof & Prose is all about having fun, I’m also not going to shy away from the hard realities that books can teach us. All of my books will get a drink pairing but they may also get trigger warnings or resources for how we can help ourselves or others.
Proof & Prose is the book club for any and every reader. The stories we share here are the ultimate love letter to bookworms, from a bookworm. I want to hear your thoughts. I want to know what you’re reading and what you think I should read next. I want you to be a part of the club.
