I developed and implemented all branding on the Friday Night Readers website and Substack, from the name to the logo, color palette, tagline, voice, typography, imagery, positioning, and beyond.

The goal was to appeal to literary fans of Gilmore Girls through familiar colors, words, and imagery, while still letting my unique personality shine through. I spoke about the process here:

I have also worked with others on niche strategy, web copy and design that attracts the target customer, unique positioning, and more. I’ve seen them successfully launch proprietary frameworks, webinars, websites, memberships, podcasts, and more.

Reviews

“I was so excited to learn Jules was starting a podcast! These are Two of my favorite things Books and Gilmore girls- Jules is truly the best- can’t wait for more To come!”

“‘I live in two worlds. One is a world of books.’ And the other is the world of Gilmore Girls! And no one brings these two worlds together better than Jules! I am so excited for this show and to spend time in a virtual Stars Hollow with a kindred spirit.”

“I’m so excited for this podcast! I can’t wait to spend my Friday nights listening.”

“Jules’ podcast is a delightful blend of Rory’s love for books and the enchanting, cozy small town charm of Stars Hollow. Listening to it feels like shaking up a snow globe ~ only instead of snow, it’s filled with vibrant autumn leaves, quirky characters, and a whole lot of heart that makes Stars Hollow so magical.

Each episode is a fun swirl of Gilmore Girls goodness from behind the scenes facts, pop culture gems, music throwbacks, and of course, tons of literary heart and love. Jules has a way of unpacking all the clever references that make the show so special, making it perfect for longtime fans like me and curious newcomers.

For me, it’s pure nostalgia as if I’m popping in a Gilmore Girls DVD back in the early 2000s and flipping through the bonus pop culture guide that came in the box set. (If you know, you know haha)

So grab a Santa burger, toast a Pop-Tart, pour some coffee (obviously), and let Jules whisk you away to your own little corner of Stars Hollow. It’s the perfect Friday night escape.”

Unofficial Guide to the Books on Gilmore Girls (Self-published, 2026)

Nearly two years in the making, my Unofficial Guide to the Books on Gilmore Girls tracks the show’s 475+ books by episode. It’s bigger and better than any other you’ll find, with 100+ unique discoveries.

It’s been a passion project spanning hundreds of hours, and I pride myself on accuracy and comprehensiveness in compiling the books on Gilmore Girls for fans who want to become as well-read as the characters.

But I’m a Gilmore! (Bluestocking Books NZ, 2022)

I published an essay in But I’m a Gilmore!: Stories and Experiences of Cast, Crew, and Fans about running a Gilmore Girls-inspired book club with tens of thousands of members.

Favorite excerpt:

“Rory is [our] literary superhero. The kind whose habit is taking a book with her everywhere she goes. The kind whose boyfriend is willing to watch her browse bookstores for six or seven hours. The kind who even loves the smell of books.”
