Meet Your Event Organizers
Julie Cordova
Julie’s first book, The Other Side of the Rainbow, a suspense thriller, was published in 2023. Her second novel, The Other End of the Lie published in July 2025. She is developing the third book of the trilogy now.
Julie joined the Colorado Author’s League after her first book was published. She attended The Expert Edge session in March 2025: DIY Marketing with Dan Klefstad who suggested authors rehearse reading excerpts daily, so they are prepared to enchant any audience at any opportunity. The conversation that followed led to Julie starting the Monday Mid-day Marketing Rehearsals with CAL and this partnership opportunity with the Tri-Arts Project to host an Evening Author Showcase for local authors.
Julie graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in communication and with her graduate degree in arts and culture with a specialty in creative writing from the University of Denver. She went on to teach writing courses for a few years before becoming a full-time writer.
