Julieann Campbell was born in 1976 and lives in Derry, Northern Ireland, with her five-year-old daughter Saffron.
A former reporter for the Derry Journal, Julieann’s poetry has been widely published and she won 1st place for a collection in Ireland’s 2008 Charles Macklin Poetry Competition.
In June 2015, Julieann launched her debut solo collection of poetry, ‘Milk Teeth’, with the city’s premier publishing house, Guildhall Press.
