Always LOVE Julia’s cards. They are beautiful, creative, high quality, and always well received. The sustainable packaging is the cherry on top of every Highland Fables order.

Wonderful debut novel. Strong characters and masterful plot weaving our world with that of Norse mythology. I look forward to reading more from this author and the continuing story in this world.

Julia has been a spectacular addition to our team. Usually you hire a contract copywriter and they write your content, do the job and it’s all fine. But very rarely, somebody of Julia’s calibre comes along to blow all your expectations out of the water.

I really enjoyed reading this book. A friend recommended it to me and I was fascinated and always curious about what happens next. I liked the special names chosen for the characters and I totally recommend the book

I hired Julia off of UpWork, where she submitted a very compelling application to become part of the writing team at Pilot—a small travel startup. From the beginning of the relationship, Julia was eager to learn and communicated well. After getting a handle on our system, she was able to submit well-crafted blog posts about a variety of travel topics.

Absolutely brilliant! High quality product and excellent service, even added a few little extras as I’d marked it as a gift! Would definitely buy again
