Julie Ann Morris

​Julie Morris is a Canadian-American writer based in Portland, OR. Her creative nonfiction has appeared in print and online, most recently in Buckman Journal. 

​

Based on her experiences coming out later in life and raising a child with complex medical and developmental needs, Julie's writing focuses on topics such as compulsory heterosexuality, the weight of caregiving, and the resilience of queer families. She is a 2023 recipient of the Oregon Literary Fellowship.

She is currently working on a memoir about raising a child with a rare congenital brain disorder in a society that devalues disabled people and undervalues care work. In her "off" hours she is a silversmith, a roller skater, and a servant to three cats.
