About The Book

Dolly Parton called this book "fun, informative, and oh-so Southern"—a love letter filled with essays on charm, beauty, parenting and more, packed with yes ma'ams, casseroles, and more Southern phrases than you can shake a stick at.

If you’re not from the South, bless your heart, pay attention cause there’s a ton of wisdom to be found in these heartfelt, humorous ways. Southerners speak their own unique version of the English language, and you’ll come to understand it in these pages. It’s a linguistic art. And it’s gooder than grits, y’all.

I love all things Southern . . . and I really love Julia Fowler's new book Talk Southern to Me. I know you'll love it, too. It's fun, informative, and oh-so-Southern.

– Dolly Parton

I'm proud to share the sisterhood of the South with my dear friend Julia Fowler. Her humor and intelligence shine through everything she does, including the pages of this most entertaining book.

– Patricia Altschul

Talk Southern to Me is a hilarious, wise, and winning explaination of the heart and soul of the South, written by one of its most beloved - and lovable - daughters. As a longtime fan of Julia Fowler's brilliantly funny Southern Women Channel on YouTube, I have pined for a print version of her sassy Southern storytelling to share with friends and here it is! Get you some!

Bless your heart, Julia Fowler. Here we have all things Southern. It turns out a Southerner can string together the most unexpected words to shape you up, dress you down, or describe what just went on. A delightful insider's guide.

I'm a Texan, and Lord have mercy on my soul, did Julia Fowler hit the nail on the head with her hysterical new book. My Mama suddenly came back to life, shaking her finger in my face and reminding me of all that is Southern: the sayings I grew up with, the manners with which I was taught, the very important casseroles, the church covered-dish fellowships, and the pageantry. Everything that I miss dreadfully, but will always be imprinted as part of my DNA. No, you do not have to be from the same dirt to appreciate this gem, but it sure doesn't hurt.

– Del Shores

Y'all, Julia Fowler just dills my pickle, she's so funny. If you're from the South, your heart will be fuller than a tick reading her honest and hilarious portrayal of our language and customs. You might even time warp back to the nights your Mama made you sleep in sponge rollers or the first time you went cow tippin'. You might even taste the butter on your Mee Maw's homemade biscuits. Julia Fowler is to Southern comedy what white vinegar is to collard greens - absolutely necessary!
