Judy L. Mohr

Judy L Mohr (pronounced “more”) wears many hats. Writer. Editor. Writing coach. Amateur photographer. Mother. Wife. Science geek. Her knowledge ranges from highly efficient ways to hide the fictional bodies through to designing websites and marketing books.

Judy is the author of the dystopian technothriller “Dancing in the Purple Rain”, and was named one of the New Voices of Aotearoa for 2025, where the judges called her a “dynamic new voice in speculative fiction.” She was also awarded an Honorable Mention in the Writers of the Future Contest in 2020, and was a semi-quarter finalist in the ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Competition in 2022.

In early 2026, she is releasing “Antagonistic Beats of a Story”, which pulls on her experience as a developmental editor and writing coach, examining the structure a story through the antagonistic lens.

When she isn’t writing, editing, or doing something within the local writing community, she can often be found with a camera in her hand enjoying the world around her. Follow her crazy adventures on her blog (judylmohr.com) or on Instagram (@JudyLMohr).
