JULIE CORYELL
literary publicist
Julie Coryell is a literary publicist and book reviewer based in Los Angeles.
After graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature, Julie worked at INTERPOL in France as a Project Manager and Communications Consultant. Upon her return to the US, she began reviewing books online as @bookchew and became a bookseller at East Bay Booksellers. Julie soon joined Heyday—a nonprofit publisher in Berkeley—as their Marketing and Publicity Manager, before becoming the Director of Digital Marketing and Publicity of a boutique literary PR firm.
In addition to publicity campaigns, Julie specializes in beyond-the-book coverage. She loves collaborating with authors throughout their publishing journey, from finding unexpected story angles to placing each client as a subject-matter expert whose voice is not relegated to the pages of a book, but to a breadth of media.
