About the Presenter: Julia Amante is a Women’s Fiction author of multiple novels, the latest being Let Us Begin. Julia Amante writes emotionally rich stories about family, love, and the passion of chasing and achieving one’s goals.
Julia began her writing career in 2000, writing Latina romance under the pseudonym Lara Rios when Kensington Publishing released a new line of Latino romance books. In 2009, Lara Rios became Julia Amante when she changed her writing style to reach a new audience. Amante wanted to expand her writing to include not only romantic relationships but the more complex bonds women have with parents, children, and friends.
In 2020, Julia started Wise Writer Publishing, her own publishing services company, to independently publish her novels and support other writers.
