My writing

I write, co-write and ghost-write articles, poems, essays, research papers and stories. I journal regularly in a notebook and very occasionally online. You can read my newsletter exploring how we can live well in this broken and beautiful world on Substack.

If you’re interested in chatting generally or seeing if we could work together, please do get in touch or email me at juliakendalwrites@gmail.com.
