juls

writer, student, gardener

Juls (she/him) grew up on traditional territories of Blackfoot,  Îyâxe Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina nations, and now studies fiction and poetry at the University of Victoria on stolen W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən lands. He received the 2025 Philip Pickering Award for Poetry, and his work can be found in HAD, Back Patio Press, Contemporary Verse 2, and more. She volunteers as a reader for The Malahat Review, The Ex-Puritan, and PRISM International. Juls worked for over a decade in the customer service industry, and moved provinces to return to university to follow his passion for writing. She advocates for community, resiliency, and food sovereignty through her work at the UVic Campus Community Garden, where she started an ongoing open mic series and the hand-collaged journal Sundew. He writes queernormative, literary-leaning speculative and fantasy novels and short stories, and is currently querying his second book, which takes place in an endless garden. After graduating with her BFA in spring 2026, she is hoping to begin an MFA in fall 2026 to complete her third novel.
