Autorenporträt
Julie Carter grew up in Sunderland and lives near Keswick in Cumbria, UK. She started her working life as a researcher in genetics before teaching science and outdoor education then becoming a medical doctor. After a couple of decades working in emergency care and general practice, she began to look more broadly for different ways of promoting health and alleviating distress. This led her to train in Human Givens which is an evidence-based practical approach to health based on getting our needs met in balance, without exploiting others.Julie is a runner, a climber and an adventurer. Her experiences in all aspects of her life are the inspiration for her writing which crosses the genres of creative non-fiction and poetry. Her first book Running the Red Line was a five-star finalist in the Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards and her second, Is It Serious?, is a collection of poetry on the subjects of family, love, science, medicine and wild things. Julie enjoys forming collaborations, making connections and speaking at events and festivals. Her film I Am a Fellrunner, co-directed by Jessie Leong, has won international praise and gained laurels in nine film festivals. She is currently working on her theatre production, The Dreamtime Fellrunner, supported by the Arts Council England.You can find a selection of Julie's work including film and audio on her website www.mindfell.co.uk where you can also read her blog and see details of upcoming events including wild writing workshops and outdoor poetry events.Also head to www.mindfell.co.uk to enjoy a selection of photographs to compliment this book.
