Julie Schumacher writes for people who don’t have time to read. . . which is most people.

She focuses on what makes someone stop, pay attention, and keep going—especially when the topic is complex or technical.

Julie has spent her career turning difficult subjects into something clear and engaging. Her background in education shapes how she works: she’s always thinking about the audience, what they need to understand, and how to make it stick.

Before joining Strategy Muse, she wrote across industries including legal, retail, and public institutions, with clients like LexisNexis, Decathlon, and the Forest Preserves of Cook County. She also taught history, civics, and journalism—an experience that sharpened her ability to explain complex ideas simply.

At Strategy Muse, Julie works with a global biotech organization to bring its science to life through storytelling. Her work has driven unusually high engagement, with more than 90% of employees reading intranet stories weekly.

She respects people’s stories and their time—and writes accordingly.

Each summer, Julie, her husband, and their copper-topped kid relocate for a working sabbatical, globe-hopping to places including Rio, Cape Town, and Helsinki. She's found that showing up with genuine curiosity, making real connections, and paying close attention is the best way to move through the world. And the work.
