Julia Vee loves stories of magic and monsters. Her Asian Studies degree deepened her appreciation for the region’s history and lore. Even while working as a lawyer for two decades, she always nurtured her creative spark. Her book Ebony Gate is a love letter to San Francisco, highlighting one woman's journey to find her place in the world. Vee and co-author Labelle fill Ebony Gate with things they love including: Asian myth and monsters, secret societies, and a loveable grandma.

Julia will touch on her path to publication and present a Flash Fiction Workshop. She’ll walk you through this guided writing session including tips and tricks for tightening up your prose.
