About Juli Herman
Juli Herman, born and raised in Malaysia, is a homeschooling mother of five. She is currently living in the United States with her husband and children. After graduating from Iowa State University in 1999, she stayed home and has never looked back since. Even though her degree was in Computer Science, her heart belongs in the literary art of writing, among other creative pursuits. Homeschooling and parenting three teenagers and a kindergartener has added a lot of food for thought, not to mention doses of insanity, to her writing life. Nevertheless, she continues to pursue writing as a personal endeavor, for in writing, she has delightfully found herself.
Her articles and poems have appeared in The Straight Path/An Nisaa, SISTERS magazine, Fandangle, Motherverse, HabibiHalaqas, I Got It Covered, and several anthologies (Call Me Okaasan, Muslim Voices Poetry Anthology 2006) and newsletters. She also group blogs at Islamic Pearls, Motherverse: Mothering Out Loud, and Joy Luck Kitchen.
Assalamu alaikum Sister Julie. I found a link to this blog of yours on Amel Abdullah’s Blog “Resources for Muslim Writers”. Like you, I am also a naturally-inclined writer who ‘happened’ to graduate in Computer Science! I find it admirable that you are homeschooling so many children masha’Allah. I intend to read up on your writings very soon. Hang in there, and keep the faith.
I have wanted so much to write for Sister’s Magazine. I applied with an article on their website address but got no response. Allah’s will! But I am glad I stumbled upon your blog, and I’d encourage you to continue writing despite all odds. Writing will keep you fulfilled and enthusiastic about life in general, inshaAllah.
Wassalam.

Dear Sister Julie,
Assalamu Alaikum. How are you? I really enjoyed your articles in the past issues of Sister on the setbacks of grading in schools, I think we have to question the mordern system of education. The love of learning is an eternal flame that should never be extinguished. I would really love to have an electronic copy of them, could you be kind enough to send them to. usman.isa@gmail.com, my Allah reward your effort.
waalaikumsalam br usman,

Assalam’kum kakak,
Ingat dayah lagi tak??? Kakak macam mane? sihat? kakak bley tak bagi personal email kak juli kat dayah?
Assalamu Alaikum Sister Julie,
May Allah bless you and your family to be well and in strong iman.
I wrote to you last month regarding us exchanging guest articles on our blogs. I also requested of you a book review of my parenting e-book, Discipline without Disrespecting. I read in your blog that you enjoy subjects related to parenting, and I found your review of the parenting book Parent Talk to be thorough and informative.
In my previous message I mentioned I’d be getting back with you to follow up. I’m just checking to see if you came to any decision regarding my requests.
Thank you and jazakalakhair for your time.
Your Sister in islam,
Sister Rose (Grandma Jeddah)
