poetry

Julie Flanders is known for her passionate and haunting texts. Her first book of poetry, entitled Joyride, was a number-one bestseller on Amazon in its category.

With deceptively simple words, she guides readers through the mysteries of the familiar to a deeper understanding of life and love, death and loss, the miracles of perception, and the magic of the ordinary.

An award-winning songwriter, Flanders is the lyricist for the band, October Project, which she co-founded with her partner, Emil Adler, and which is still celebrated for its two groundbreaking albums on Epic Records that have sold over 1/2 million copies worldwide. October Project’s newest studio album is called The Ghost of Childhood. Flanders’ songs with OP and other artists have been widely featured on TV and in film. She is considered an innovator in both the creation and marketing of independent music. Her choral work, The Book of Rounds: 21 Songs of Grace, was premiered by Chorus Austin, and is available on Sounds True Records and with Hal Leonard Publishing.

Flanders is also an acclaimed Achievement Expert and Success Coach, mentoring creative leaders and innovators in business, design and the arts. Her client list includes business visionaries, Academy Award winners, New York Times best-selling authors, and social influencers who are shaping the future now.
