Julie Gillet

Julie Gillet was born in Liège, Belgium, and now lives between Moncton, New Brunswick, and her native land. With a master’s degree in journalism, she has been working for nearly twenty years in the Francophone community, where she supports organizations on issues of communication, mobilization, and inclusion.

Driven by an uncompromising feminist commitment, her writing explores violence and reparation, tenderness and resistance, with a particular focus on the body, minority voices, and the fractures of reality. She is the author of the essay Le jour où j’ai arrêté d’être sage (Perce-Neige, 2024) and Faire feu (Perce-Neige, 2026), her first collection of poetry. (Bio taken from the REFC website)
