    Julia Mastroianni

    Julia Mastroianni’s first attempt at writing resulted in the first 20 pages of a novel that she promptly abandoned, a year after starting, at age nine, because she couldn’t bear to read her own work. Since then, she’s completed assignments at various publications, including Post City Magazines and the National Post. While studying journalism, she pursued her interest in writing about feminist issues as co-editor-in-chief of New Wave Magazine with Yusra Javed. She mostly uses her spare time for baking, reading and being a devoted sister/mom to her dog, Luna.
