Julia is a great editor. She does what all the great editors do: she is a friend, sounding board, champion, and coach. Whether line edits or development story work, she brings a thoughtful perspective with the ambition of helping the author to make their story truly sing. And the writer never feels vulnerable working with Julia – she creates a safe space with her well-considered approach to the work. I’ve worked with a lot of editors, and Julia is among the very best.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Julia Anderson for over a year and a half at CBR.com, where I was her managing editor in the news department. From the day I hired her, Julia boosted our newsroom’s efforts, making her an invaluable and indispensable member of the team.
On a daily basis, Julia exhibited an enthusiasm for her work I wish more people had. In addition to being knowledgable about video games, she was also able to leverage her TCG and tabletop gaming interests in order to identify and execute stories on topics the site had rarely or never covered in the past, creating a number of massive traffic hits for CBR. When I needed help outside of the gaming category, Julia was invariably one of the first to volunteer her services, which quickly led to her becoming an indispensable part of our TV and movie coverage as well.
There are a lot of things I miss about working at CBR, and among the top of them is working with Julia. She would make a terrific addition to any publication’s news team, as an editor or writer. Her upbeat attitude is wonderfully infectious, and her eagerness to help out in whatever way the team needs is often nothing short of inspirational.

Any reading of Julia's news stories or interviews will show that, as a writer and editor, Julia consistently puts out high-quality work, and I have always been able to rely on her when I needed to refine coverage of certain topics or stories. I strongly recommend hiring Julia as an editor and can say with confidence that she is likely to exceed expectations.

I sought Julia’s expertise to improve both my professional and personal work. She strengthened my research writing through clear, methodical edits and helped me meet every deadline with ease. On the narrative front, she edited my short fiction with the eye of a storyteller, offering insight and wisdom to make each character shine. I can rely on Julia for anything, and she gives each project 110%. Here’s to 10+ years of awesome work!

I've known Julia for over ten years and she's worked with me on both academics and personal projects. She has a keen eye for detail and clarity. She recognizes when something doesn't flow or fit in the story, and can detect even the smallest plot hole. Julia seems to always know what to suggest to help me figure out the best way to fix whatever needs work but keeps it in my voice or style. She's brilliant, and any writer would be lucky to have her as an editor.
