Julia Meltzer is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter, writing teacher, and postpartum doula/lactation educator. She started her career in entertainment as a development assistant for Modern Family star Ty Burrell’s production company before selling her original multicam pilot YOURS, MINE & PAUL’S to 20th Century Fox Television in a competitive situation; it later sold to ABC with Burrell producing and Sarah Hyland attached to star. Her next pilot, MARRIED WITH FRIENDS (also a multicam), sold to CBS; she then went on to adapt the Israeli TV series THE STYLIST into a feature film for Amazon Local Originals. She also developed an original single cam pilot, MORE KIDS THAN PARENTS, with Fanfare Productions, and wrote on the scripted audio series THE GOOD LIFE (Broadway Video and Audible). Her female driven R-rated comedy feature THE TWIST is in development with Chernin.

After struggling with her own writing practice after the birth of her son, Julia became passionate about parental wellness and empowering primary parents to share their creative voices with wide audiences, and created the groundbreaking New Parent Pilot Class, an incubator for parents of young children to create outstanding TV writing samples where their parenthood was seen as an asset, not a liability.

Julia has performed improv comedy at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade since 2015 and is now in the rotating cast of the theater’s flagship show ASSSSCAT. Julia has taught improv workshops for screenwriters through the Humanitas Foundation and USC School of Cinematic Arts’ Middle Eastern Media Initiative.

Julia has not been anywhere except Cabo since 2018 and she is PSYCHED to cross the Atlantic!
