Meet the Author: Julie Neal Wilson

Julie Neal Wilson spent over a decade running booths across Wyoming, Montana, Indiana, and Texas, learning how different markets work, what buyers actually respond to, and how to build something sustainable in the resale and painted furniture space.

Through her brand Purple Monkey Manor, she grew a Shopify storefront, an active Pinterest presence, and an email list of hundreds of engaged small business owners, most of whom found her because she answered their questions honestly and without pretense.

How to Start a Booth is the practical guide she built from all of it: real experience, real markets, real decisions.
