Júlia Goldman (born 25 September 1974, Orosháza) is a Hungarian author, mathematician, teacher and programmer.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the field of fantasy and science fiction publishing in Hungary was stimulated by social and political changes.
[1] Goldman started writing short stories and novels, largely of the fantasy and science fiction genres.
Because of being isolated by language, Hungarian authors had a tradition of publishing under anglicized names to appeal to English-speaking markets.
In addition, Goldman chose to use an initial rather than her given name to gain sales in the male-dominated fantasy/adventure world, as has English writer J.K. Rowling of the Harry Potter series.
