L Michelle Tullier

Michelle Tullier ("too-lee-yay") is obsessed with dogs, alphabetized spice racks, and the futile pursuit of understanding human behavior, especially her own. She is the author of nine self-help books, including The Complete Idiot's Guide to Ovrcoming Procrastination, 2nd ed., (Penguin, 2012). No Finer Place (Gatekeeper Press, 2026) is her first memoir, which she sees as putting her self in self-help.

Michelle holds a BA from Wellesley College and PhD in counseling psychology from UCLA and studied creative writing at Emory University. She is a frequent speaker and podcast guest in the global community of those with MPEs (misattributed parentage experiences) and DNA surprises. Michelle works as a developmental editor and ghostwriter for major publishing houses and self-publishing authors.

A native Atlantan, Michelle loves her snowy island home in Maine and spending spring mud season on a sailboat in the Bahamas.
