Jules Machias

Jules Machias is an author, editor, photographer, and artist. "Both Can Be True" is inspired by their combined passions for rescuing animals and expanding gender norms to create a more inclusive world. Jules has worked at a veterinarian, a construction company, a car-parts warehouse, a middle school for kids with disabilities, and a boatload of marketing firms. They now own and operate Red Pen Refinery, LLC, an editing and proofreading business focused on fiction for young adults and middle-grade readers. Jules lives in Cincinnati with their family, assorted reptiles, and three rescue dogs: the world’s happiest pit bull, a chihuahua with congestive heart failure, and a paralyzed terrier with way too much sass.
