About Julie Chow

Reach me out at y•••••@gmail.comAn all-rounded writer for podcasts, fiction, non-fiction, journalistic reports, publicity, marketing, communication, etc. A translator for Chinese and English texts. As a creative writer, I\'ve been honing my storytelling skills for years: expanding and connecting simple ideas into story outlines, interviewing/researching relevant information and experiences to make sure there\'s enough accuracy, authenticity, and relatable details in my stories. At the same time, I maintain a strong sense of the little things in everyday life: a past experience mentioned in conversation, a person\'s behavior/language pattern, an intriguing post online, an unknown historical archive - I keep an eye on all the nitty-gritty details of life, looking analytically for connections, and flesh out possible stories of insight. I aspire to approach work and life with a creative, keen, and international perspective, combined with the ability to learn quickly to master industry trends and job responsibilities.
