Julia Bianco

Julia Bianco writes contemporary fantasy with a pulse, the kind of stories where magic collides with the everyday and leaves characters changed forever. Her debut novel, Witch Season, introduces readers to a world of covens, rivalries, and hard choices, weaving together action, romance, and the darker cost of power.

Before stepping into the world of publishing, Julia spent years behind the scenes in film and television, working long hours on projects like Wicked: Part One, Pen15, and Head of the Class. That experience sharpened her eye for character tension and cinematic pacing, skills that now shape the way her novels unfold.

Based in Los Angeles, she writes alongside her fiancé and two cats, S’more and Rigatoni, finding inspiration in both the chaos of city life and the quiet moments that leave room for imagination. Her stories explore belonging, identity, and the uneasy bargains people strike when magic—literal or otherwise—enters their lives.

With Witch Season set for release through St. Martin’s Publishing Group, Julia Bianco steps into the fantasy landscape as a fresh voice unafraid to ask what it really means to carry power, and what must be given up in return.
