about

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 Lorna Crozier Scholarship for Poetry and the 2025 Philip Pickering Award for Poetry, and his work can be found in This Side of West, Contemporary Verse 2, Back Patio Press, and HAD. She volunteers as a reader for The Malahat Review, The Ex-Puritan, and PRISM International. Juls worked for over a decade in the hospitality and tourism 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 queer, literary-leaning speculative novels and short stories, as well as creative nonfiction, flash, and poetry. She is currently querying her second book, which takes place in an endless garden. After graduating with his BFA in spring 2026, he hopes to begin an MFA in fall 2026 to complete his third novel and continue pursuing traditional publishing.
