Julie Pearson (she/her)

Julie Pearson is a writer, director, and “a delight to have in class,” according to all her past teachers. She created the digital series THE BOXCAR ADULTS which was licensed to The Roku Channel in 2022, and she was a finalist for the WB Writers’ Workshop. After growing up in Minnesota where people can be, um, allergic to direct communication, Julie learned to express herself emotionally by spending her twenties at Chicago’s comedy theaters performing improv, directing plays, and working a storied collection of odd jobs. Now, she blends her writing and performance backgrounds as an essayist and co-host of The Non-Fiction Show, a variety show in Atwater Village where she reads her work every month. Julie’s writing credits include Reductress, Parcast/Spotify Original Podcasts, and Duolingo, and she has worked as a writers’ room assistant for television shows including THE GIRLS ON THE BUS (HBO Max). In her spare time she cooks, dances burlesque, and is pursuing training as an intimacy coordinator.
