About Julia

Although her accent isn’t too thick, Julia M. Sauder hails from New Jersey where she completed her first feature screenplay at age 14. After attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, she spent several years working in film and TV production. Her true brand is horror, but she ventures out into other genres from time to time. Be careful, she’ll warm your heart and eat it, too!

Julia’s many accolades include winning the Portland Screenplay Awards with her drama short "Montana." She has placed in the ScreenCraft Comedy Awards and multiple Filmmatic genre awards, amongst others. Julia was also selected to participate in last spring's Nostos Screenwriting Retreat in Tuscany, Italy where she was one of seven writers chosen.

When she's not writing, she's most likely planning her next excursion out into the world, enjoying time with her six nieces and nephews or spoiling her rescue dog, Liesl.
