"Writing is less about filling the page and more about discovery..."
I am very into Julie Fontes as a writer and as a hilarious, sweet, genuine human being. My interview with her went in every direction imaginable... we candidly chat about ED, sobriety, toxic relationships, the life of a writer, social media addiction, mental wellness, and more. I personally love how this conversation just flowed and flowed and I particularly enjoyed listening to Julie read from the diary she wrote (and hid under her bed!) in 1994, which she aptly titled: "My Crazy Life" in black ink.
Julie Fontes (pronounced fonts!) (she/her) is a full-time sober server/author, athlete and cat enthusiast. She just published her first book, "Like a Normal Person" which you can find anywhere you buy books or at any of the links below.
You can also follow Julie on substack which is where we "met": https://juliefontes.substack.com/ but don't follow her on IG (jk, @juliefontesaf)
