by Edwin Milton Royle, Julie Opp
Born in New York City in 1871, Julie Opp became known as an author, poet, and lyricist whose writing reached readers through both books and periodicals. She wrote during a period when magazine publication could make a writer widely visible, and her work appeared in outlets including Harper's Bazar, Munsey's Magazine, and The Century Magazine.
Opp also published books of verse and fiction. Among the titles associated with her are The Golden Weather, The Angry Ents, and The Dawn Man. Her career shows a writer working across forms rather than staying in one lane, moving from poems and song lyrics to stories and novels.
She died in 1921. Although she is not widely read today, the surviving record suggests a versatile literary career shaped by the magazine culture and popular reading world of her time.
