Julia Harrington

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by medieval and early modern European history—especially English history and the Tudor period. I’m particularly passionate about uncovering and amplifying the feminine perspective woven through these turbulent eras. My mission is to share my love of history and storytelling through witty, thought-provoking content that sparks curiosity, challenges conventional narratives, and reimagines how we engage with the past, especially through a female lens.

At the heart of my work is a passion for reclaiming the voices of women who have too often been silenced, sidelined, or simplified by history. I write female-driven narratives that seek to restore complexity, agency, and humanity to the women who shaped our world—figures whose legacies deserve more than scandal and myth.

For nearly fifteen years, I’ve immersed myself in the history of medieval England, the early modern period, and the captivating world of the Tudor dynasty. A longtime admirer of writers like Hilary Mantel and Maggie O’Farrell, I’m currently working on my debut historical fiction novel, The Falcon’s Flight—a vivid, fiery retelling of the female experience in Tudor England.

If you’re drawn to richly layered storytelling, Tudor-era intrigue, historical deep dives, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the writing life, I’d love for you to join me on Substack [link above].

A bit more about me: I earned a B.S. in Business Administration and Economics from Babson College, and though my professional background is rooted in strategy and business, my lifelong passion has always been storytelling, especially when it comes to history.

When I’m not writing, you’ll likely find me out for a run, experimenting in the kitchen (my chocolate chip cookies are legendary among family & friends), or daydreaming about my next travel adventure. I have a soft spot for the color yellow—it’s the color of my KitchenAid mixer, and nothing sparks my love for baking quite like seeing it on my countertop—and one of my favorite places to visit is London, England, a city that has completely captured my heart.
