Judy Millar

Judy Millar is an author and comedic storyteller based on Vancouver Island. After a career in communications, she was delighted life’s “second chapter” gave her more time to “play with words” to make herself, and others, laugh.

Her awards for creative and humour writing include a Toronto Sun essay award and two-time finalist recognition in both the Mark Twain House Royal Nonesuch Humor Writing Contest and the Writers’ Union of Canada Short Prose Competition. She has been published in The Globe and Mail, Reader’s Digest, Writer’s Digest, and in anthologies such as Laugh Lines and Flash Nonfiction Funny.

Her latest book—OTHER THAN THAT, I’M FINE: Essays on Life and Other Inconveniences—is a humorous collection of essays, light verse and true stories. She previously published Beaver Bluff, The Librarian Stories—a collection of humorous short stories for adults.

Judy lives on beautiful Vancouver Island, where she’s been known to engage in comedic storytelling, clumsy kayaking and lively line dancing—but not all at once.
