She grew up as an un-schooler on a sheep farm on a small island off the coast of British Columbia, before moving to Vancouver to study illustration at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, where she graduated in 2015. She now works as a freelance illustrator for clients around the world, specializing in book cover design and illustration for children\u2019s and young adult literature. Her work is inspired by her passion for mythology, history, and a love of fairy tales and fantasy of all kinds, weaving these influences together to create whimsical characters and beautiful, mysterious worlds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ubb-author-links\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.juliairedale.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JuliaIredaleArt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/16014420.Julia_Iredale\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Goodreads<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/julia_iredale\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/shop\/JuliaIredale\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Etsy<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"ubb-about-author\"><h3>About Soman Chainani<\/h3><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Background-350x350.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignleft ubb-about-author-photo\"><p>Soman Chainani's first novel,  THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL, debuted on the New York Times Bestseller  List, has been translated into 26 languages across six continents, and  will soon be a major motion picture from Universal Studios. <\/p>\n<p>The  sequels, A WORLD WITHOUT PRINCES and THE LAST EVER AFTER, debuted on the  New York Times Bestseller List as well.
