About Julie Pennell
Hi there! I’m the author of two novels, “The Young Wives Club” and “Louisiana Lucky,” and a regular contributor to TODAY.com.
I was born and raised in Louisiana and moved to New York City after college to work at my dream job: Seventeen Magazine. My writing has also appeared in Teen Vogue, InStyle, Refiner29, The Knot and Reader’s Digest, among other publications.
I’m currently married to a St. Louis boy I met in Manhattan, and we live in Philadelphia with two rambunctious adorable little boys.
