Julia Levitina, historical fiction writer and author of:
The Girl from Moscow
A page-turning historical fiction novel
Hello, I’m Julia Levitina
In 1983, the year my debut novel is set, I was a young mother working as a theatre designer in Moscow. A descendant of Ukrainian Jews, and a Refusenik who detested her country of birth.
Having graduated with a Bachelor of Design, I worked as a theatre designer before immigrating to Australia in 1991.
As a new migrant with two young children and $200 to my name, I was accepted into a Postgraduate Design course.

UPDATE
I've been hard at work on the second draft of my upcoming book, 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦.
Like clockwork, I wake up around 5:42 a.m.—even when I’d rather not! This draft is a big undertaking, so I’m at it every morning. My goal is to have it finished by the end of March—fingers crossed! Once I’m done, it’ll be ready for the next exciting stage: working with an editor.
The intense focus required for editing, means I haven't been able to read as much as I'd like lately as it takes up so much of my attention, but I truly love the process—watching the story take shape is incredibly rewarding.
I’m also thrilled to share that the first draft of 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦 received some wonderful recognition:
The journey continues—thank you for following along!
