Julia Levitina, historical fiction writer and author of:
The Girl from Moscow
A page-turning historical fiction novel
Hello, Iβm Julia Levitina
In 1983, the year my debut novel is set, I was a young mother working as a theatre designer in Moscow. A descendant of Ukrainian Jews, and a Refusenik who detested her country of birth.
Having graduated with a Bachelor of Design, I worked as a theatre designer before immigrating to Australia in 1991.
As a new migrant with two young children and $200 to my name, I was accepted into a Postgraduate Design course.

UPDATE
I've been hard at work on the second draft of my upcoming book, ππ¦πΊπ°π―π₯ π΅π©π¦ ππ’ππ¦.
Like clockwork, I wake up around 5:42 a.m.βeven when Iβd rather not! This draft is a big undertaking, so Iβm at it every morning. My goal is to have it finished by the end of Marchβfingers crossed! Once Iβm done, itβll be ready for the next exciting stage: working with an editor.
The intense focus required for editing, means I haven't been able to read as much as I'd like lately as it takes up so much of my attention, but I truly love the processβwatching the story take shape is incredibly rewarding.
Iβm also thrilled to share that the first draft of ππ¦πΊπ°π―π₯ π΅π©π¦ ππ’ππ¦ received some wonderful recognition:
The journey continuesβthank you for following along!
