What People Have to say about julie
Testimonials
Faye De Lanty
“Julie Postance is a book angel sent from above! She changed the way I see myself and what I believe to be possible, and for that I am forever grateful.”
“Julie empowered me to tell my story, my authentic way. Opshopulence became #1 on Amazon in Fashion and Textiles and stayed there for weeks. A sold-out launch in New York at Refashion Week followed shortly after, as did a live TV cross from NYC to Studio 10 in Sydney, Australia, to promote my book. Recently, one of my Thrift Tip TikToks went viral and I ended up in The Sun newspaper in the UK! It’s amazing to see what happens with passion and the right team to guide you. Working with Julie and her team was an incredible experience—life-changing, actually! If you want to write a book, Julie Postance and her stable of literary angels are like no other.”
—Faye De Lanty, author of Opshopulence

“I’m so grateful to Julie Postance. With her support, I’ve now published six bestselling books on Aware Parenting.”
“My book, I’m Here and I’m Listening was #1 in four categories; my second, The Emotional Life of Babies was #1 in six categories; and my first, which I coauthored with Lael Stone, Raising Compassionate and Resilient Children was #1 in nine categories including Motherhood, Parenting and Family, Movers and Shakers, Developmental Child Psychology and Bestsellers, and Hot New Releases. This has been a dream come true. I’m now planning to launch several more!”

Niels van Hove
“I sold 25,0000 books across all channels, making $140k in royalties for four children’s books in a year.”
“My first children’s book, My Strong Mind, became successful with translations in eleven languages and a decent extra income selling online in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. I then went on to create two more children’s books in my Positive Mindset series and another book entitled How I Beat My Bully. I sold 25,000 books across all channels, making $140K in royalties for four children’s books in a year. Online publishing is less risky and more scalable than printing your own books. I always liked Julie’s hands-on approach. We worked hard and got stuff done, learning while being in good company! Once you know how to self-publish, you can do it for the rest of your life. The value of the coaching stays. I now sell 60 books a day.”
—Niels van Hove, author of the Social Skills & Mental Health for Kids series and the Positive Mindset series
Dr. Olivia Ong
“i achieved a lifelong dream.”
“With the mentorship and guidance of Julie Postance every step of the way, not only did I achieve a lifelong dream of creating a children’s book, but I also cocreated it with my son, Joseph, and hit #1 in two Amazon categories in less than 24 hours! It was #1 in Children’s Books on Emotions & Feelings and #1 in Children’s Books on Values. It’s been selling well on Amazon; I’m now creating more books and have just done a TEDx talk about self compassion. I highly recommend Julie Postance and her company for the high touch, support, and encouragement!”

With Julie’s guidance, I self-published a small book called Survive FBT: Skills Manual for Parents Undertaking Family Based Treatment (FBT) for Child and Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa, which has sold thousands of copies and helped people all over the globe.
“As a result of its success, it has been picked up by Japanese, Swedish, and Norwegian publishers. I’ve also self-published it in German and Italian. I then went on to cowrite and self-publish two other books,
Unpack Your Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery for Adolescents
in Treatment, and Letting Go of ED—Embracing Me: A Journal of Self-Discovery, as well as produce a deck of therapeutic cards for sufferers of eating disorders. Not only have I become a renowned global expert in my field, but I feel I have made a difference to thousands of sufferers of eating disorders from around the world.”

David Moore
“my book did well and it has now been taken up by an american publisher.”
“Yoga and the Alexander Technique did well, and it has now been taken up by an American publisher who renamed it Smart Yoga. They have just negotiated rights with a Chinese and a Korean publisher to have the book translated, which is great. It has certainly raised my profile as an international presenter and teacher in this area.”
—David Moore, author of Smart Yoga

Stella Stamatakis
This has enabled me to fulfill a lifetime dream. I feel more confident and grounded in the direction the next part of my career will take. I feel happier working in a field I’d only ever dreamt about.
My soul is content and grateful. The most exciting moment for me was when I received the first proof of my book. It was the first time I felt like a real author. I’d finally done it. Julie genuinely wants her clients to fulfill their desires and achieve the best possible outcomes. My favorite part of the process has been the tangible books I’ve held when my book arrives in the post as a proof, to smell the paper, read the story and have a real book in my hand. It’s hard to talk about it without getting emotional. Doing this was the best risk I ever took. I have now published my second book and am working on three more. I’ve learned so much about the publishing process. I now feel confident to create more books and call myself an author. I’m thrilled that I followed my passion and dreams and took the risk to write.”
—Stella Stamatakis, author of What’s a Yiayia? and Poppy Picker

Melinda Hildebrandt
“Since I launched my self-published memoir Amelia & Me, so many wonderful things have happened. The response has been beyond my wildest dreams.”
“So far, I have been interviewed on Channel 7’s The Daily Edition, ABC Conversations, Mia Freedman’s No Filter podcast, The Queen Sesh with Constance Hall and Annaliese and the Kinderling Kids Radio Conversations program. Book-related extracts and articles have been promoted by Mamamia, Kidspot, the Deafness Forum of Australia, BubHub, Australian Hearing, Amaze and so on.
There’s also been news coverage at the local (The Star Weekly) and national level (feature in Books section of the The Weekend Australian and a story on the 9Honey News website). My book journey has taken me to cities including Sydney and Brisbane to meet brilliant women such as Sarah Kanowski, Mia Freedman, and Shevonne Hunt. It has also connected me with so many families who have related to my story and reached out to share their personal experiences with me. The response has been so touching as countless parents have written to tell me that they see themselves in the pages of my book and as a result feel less alone. I could not have achieved any of this without the guidance, expertise and vision of Julie Postance. She is an inspiration to me.”
—Melinda Hildebrandt, author of Amelia & Me: On Deafness, Autism and Parenting by the Seat of My Pants
Nicola Philps
“My Baby Days book was added to the Victorian Baby Bundle, which will mean at least 50,000 babies (yes, you read that correctly!) will be reading my book.”
“I was feeling frustrated at so many years of never getting close to publishers. I wanted to achieve my goal of publishing books as I knew I could write well but didn’t know what to do with my two finished manuscripts. My Baby Days book was added to the Victorian Baby Bundle, which will mean at least 50,000 babies (yes, you read that correctly!) will be reading my book, which is pretty special. A Grain of Hope led to speaking gigs at schools and a launch with the renowned barrister and human rights advocate Julian Burnside. I feel like I’ve birthed two books that now have their own place in children’s lives.”
—Nicola Philps, teacher and author of Baby Days and A Grain of Hope

“Thanks to Julie, my book has now been sold globally, my book has helped establish my credibility in the spiritual wellness space, and I have been able to build my online communities in the thousands.”
I wrote my book to help women have more energy and to share how I have gone from being an exhausted working mom on autopilot, to now being full of energy and living consciously on my terms. Thanks to Julie, my book has now been sold globally, my book has helped establish my credibility in the spiritual wellness space, and I have been able to build my online communities in the thousands.
I absolutely loved working with Julie. I had never self-published a book, and it was wonderful to have Julie’s expertise guiding me through the whole process. Julie made the whole process seamless.
I am so, so grateful for Julie’s skillful coaching through the process and forever grateful that she helped me bring my book to life. I highly recommend Julie to anyone wanting to publish their book.”

Michelle Karavas
“It was a dream come true.”
“Never in my wildest dreams did I feel I would have had all the opportunities pop up for me, such as TV, podcasts, blogs, and magazines. I also feel so happy when I hear parents and kids tell me the book exactly describes their child. I love hearing feedback about how children have started to learn to selfregulate and find strategies to help them calm.”
