Julie FitzGerald

Julie FitzGerald is a British writer based in London, where she has just completed an MA in Creative & Life Writing at Goldsmiths. She studied Geography at university in the 1980s, following a passion she had back then for people and places. This fascination has re-emerged and taken a central place in her thoughts and ideas − about landscape and how it shapes our lives and memories, our well-being, attachment to place and each other, and sense of self. Julie is currently working on a memoir that combines desert landscapes with her experience of family addiction. Her work has been published in the United Kingdom by Birkbeck’s The Mechanics’ Institute Review and by Hinterland Magazine.
