Julie Bogart

I grew up in southern California, attended UCLA (Bachelor's in history, 1983), studied abroad in France, spent a summer in Democratic Republic of Congo, lived in Morocco for four years, and earned my Master's in theology from Xavier University (2007). I have five kids and homeschooled them for seventeen years. My professional writing credentials include ghostwriting, freelance writing, editing books, operating as the senior editor for a quarterly industry publication, and writing a weekly column for United Press International. I've written Brave Writer's Home Study Courses and have written or supervised the writing of all other Brave Writer products. My work in Brave Writer was recognized as an "outstanding contribution to society" in 2017 when I was awarded the Anne E. and William F. Madges Alumni Award from Xavier University. My homeschool credentials include ten years teaching theater and writing for our Cincinnati homeschool co-op of 300 students, four year membership in the steering committee of a local Charlotte Mason organization, speaking in the US, UK, and Canada at homeschool conventions, and hosting Brave Writer events all over the United States. Brave Writer opened its doors in January 2000 and has taught tens of thousands of families from all around the globe. Today, I live in Cincinnati, Ohio where I enjoy swimming, PG tips tea every morning, and traveling to visit my globe-trotting kids.
