edit data

Julia Allen has been writing since the second grade and loves editing just as much. She earned her degree in Technical Writing from Utah State University and started writing and her editing business as soon as her kids were big enough to pour their own cereal.

Known to be sinister and soulless (aka left-handed and redheaded), if there’s ever a time when she’s not editing or writing, she’ll be singing along to musicals in the car or throwing random movie quotes into conversation every chance she gets. Julia lives near the Oquirrh Mountains with her husband, four kids, and crazy dog.

Julia’s Quotes

“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
― Charles Dickens

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“God left us the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of unfinished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation.”
― Thomas S. Monson
