Julie Bogart is the creator of the innovative Brave Writer Writing and Language Arts Curriculum. For 18 years, Brave Writer instructional manuals and online classes have enriched the homeschooling lives of thousands of families. Brave Writer exists to foster a nurturing relationship between homeschooling parent and child while creating a safe environment for writing growth.

The Brave Writer program brings a fresh point of view to the writing process. Rather than emphasize formats as the key to success, Brave Writer's materials and instructors facilitate the emergence of authentic writing voice in children. Once children have access to the language, insights and ideas within, they easily learn a variety of writing genres, including the rigorous academic formats of high school and college.

Julie's professional background includes freelance writing, magazine and book editing, and ghost-writing. She's authored and supervised the development of all original Brave Writer materials, as well as having homeschooled her five (now adult) children for 17 years. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
