Hello everyone,

I am VERY EXCITED to ANNOUNCE that our special featured author will be, Juliana Gennari Anderson, on Feb.9, 2024 at 7:30pm EST!!! We can’t wait to meet with Julie and to learn more about her writing and music! Julie is a poet, a writer, and a composer! It’s going to be amazing!

Here’s a little info about Julie…

Juliana is a composer, poet, math teacher, storyteller, singer, writer, and a woman of faith. She has been composing music since 1986 with over 120 songs in her name, some of which are published in three different worldwide hymnbooks and some which have been recorded on albums produced in the USA, Cananda, and South Australia. Her songs have also been used in choirs and weddings all over the world. She composed several songs for a stage musical called “Samuel in Song” that was performed at Berkely High School, Michigan. She has a recent album called “The Time of Singing Has Come” which came out in April of 2023 and is available for listening on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, and other music platforms. To listen click the link that is below. She is working on compiling her music into one book for publishing!

Juliana taught high school math in public schools until she started tutoring out of her home to be close to her four children. Her and her husband, Glen, have been married for 48 years. In 2007, her 20-year-old son had a catastrophic car accident that put him in a coma for 6 weeks resulting in a severe brain injury.

Her faith in God, music, her sense of humor and acceptance of what you can’t change helped her cope with the daily challenges of raising a family in these difficult circumstances. She is working on a book that captures her family life with all its comical antics and serious struggles.

She has two published articles in a worldwide Christian magazine and a piece in a book called “Bereavement – Personal Experiences in Times of Pain” that was published in England in 2023.

Juliana likes writing poems and uses some of them in her song compositions. In 2012 she began writing poems daily for her middle school son when he challenged her saying she couldn’t. As a result, she wrote over 200 poems using everyday topics likes faith, family, friends, sports, holidays, math and more. Her poems often have a touch of humor that intrigued her son and her Facebook friends.

One of her poems was also published in the “Bereavement” book. She is now in the process of publishing all her poems in her own book.

In 2017 Juliana performed in a storytelling event with “The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers” that took place at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. The theme for the evening was “Hot Mamma.”

Presently, Juliana continues to praise God, nurture family & friendship, tutor math, compose music & perform, write poetry, public speak and work on her memoir.

What is the “Writing Because I Can’t Not Write” Group community?” This is a group we created in 2022 around Labor Day. Since then, we’ve been meeting as talented authors, national speakers, writers, and other entrepreneurs almost every week. As you can see, we have some amazing people joining our meetings!

We discuss writing, editing, publishing, marketing, and several other writing topics. You may just join in and leave your camera and mic on or off. We are a very laid-back group. You may hop in late or leave early, we don’t mind.

If any background noise disrupts our group meeting your mic will be silenced, and then you may turn your mic back on once it is quiet.

Whether you are a writer, speaker, or businessperson, we are happy to assist you with your writing or business endeavors. We can also help with how to increase your brand and presence!
