Julie Courtney Sullivan (born 1982), better known as J. Courtney Sullivan, is an American novelist and former writer for ''The New York Times''. ==Biography== Sullivan grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts.〔(Q & A – J. Courtney Sullivan )〕 She attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she majored in Victorian literature and received the Ellen M. Hatfield Memorial Prize for best short story, the Norma M. Leas prize for excellence in written English, and the Jeanne MacFarland Prize for excellent work in Women's Studies. She graduated in 2003, then moved to New York City and began working at ''Allure''.〔(Exclusive: An Interview with Commencement’s J. Courtney Sullivan – Flavorwire )〕 Sullivan later moved to ''The New York Times'', where she worked for over three years. Her writing has since appeared in ''The New York Times Book Review'', ''The Chicago Tribune'', ''New York'' magazine, ''The New York Observer'', ''Men's Vogue'', ''Elle'', and ''Glamour''. In 2007, her first book was published, a dating guide titled ''Dating Up: Dump the Shlump and Find a Quality Man''; she has since stated that she wrote the book for money and that "fiction was always () passion".〔http://www.girlswritenow.org/gwn/node/854〕 Sullivan comes from an Irish-Catholic family where many of the women go by their middle rather than first names. Her first piece for ''Allure'' was published under the name "Courtney Sullivan," but she added the J back in shortly thereafter. She self-identifies as a feminist, a stance that has been reflected in both her fiction and nonfiction work. In 2006, she wrote a piece for the ''New York Times'' "Modern Love" column about her experiences in the dating world,〔http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/21/fashion/sundaystyles/21love.html〕 and in 2010 she co-edited a feminist essay collection titled ''Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists''. Both of her novels deal prominently with relationships between female characters. Currently, Sullivan serves on the advisory board of Girls Write Now, a nonprofit organization that pairs young and professional female writers in mentoring partnerships.〔http://www.girlswritenow.org/gwn/community/leadership/advisoryboard〕 She has also been involved with GEMS, a New York organization dedicated to ending child sex trafficking.〔(Interview: author Courtney Sullivan on feminism, sex trafficking and Commencement « ENTERTAINMENT REALM )〕 Sullivan lives with her husband, Kevin Johannesen, and their dog, in Park Slope, Brooklyn.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/nyregion/for-j-courtney-sullivan-sunday-is-a-workday.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J.
