Congrats to Gemini Wahhaj for her debut novel with 7.13, our 29th book, which has received coverage in Publishers Weekly, Electric Lit, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and here in Ms. Magazine...

I was 99% the bottom right caricature was me until I saw this was dated 2022.

I was brought up believing that being a Jew meant that you fight genocide, racism, and McCarthyism till your dying breath so I’m feeling a little confused about where some of you are coming from.

Ohhhhh!!!! ☺️ (We're having a Sally Field at the Oscars moment!!)

So grateful to be a finalist for this! Thanks to the editors for the often thankless work of reading, and excited to be considered with so many other great writers!

This was an awesome event. Thank you to everyone who came to listen and to City Lights Books and @BlackLawrence for organizing it.

Flying out of SFO today and headed to an event at Salem Athenaeum this week, but this is the end of my official debut novel book tour. There are some literary festivals in the spring as I hope there always will be. It's been so awesome to see so many people and share this work.

Thanks to Sarah Archer and Charlotte Readers Podcast for having me on their podcast. Every convo I've listened to on their podcast left me with something real and meaningful to think about. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfiction #amrevising #ncreaders tinyurl.com/5ea53nsx

So happy 👾🎉

1200 New Yorkers, led by Jewish Elders for Palestinian Freedom, marched through midtown in silence today to mourn the thousands of Palestinian children killed in Gaza these past months, and to demand a permanent #CeasefireNOW.

I had the pleasure and honor to blurb some wonderful books that came out this year. In no particular order: a thread 1/13 Wilson Koewing

Unbelievable. Believable. We've done it many times before. Even while we don't have enough housing, food, education, medical care, etc and are teetering on the edge of the end of democracy, going against the rest of the world, the UN. #CeaseFireNow nytimes.com/2023/12/30/wor…

Let’s be real. This is an extension of what happened to me at UNC, and it is a glimpse into the future to come. Academic freedom is under attack. Racial justice programs are under attack. Black women will be made to pay. Our so-called allies too often lack any real courage.

For anyone who has a novel manuscript ready to meet the world, consider submitting to Black Lawrence Press. Send your work!! #amwriting #amrevising #Novels #fiction #WritingCommunity blacklawrencepress.submittable.com/submit/6678/th…

At just 22, Jack Smiley ’25 was paralyzed on his right side after collapsing at hockey practice on Feb. 21, 2022. Doctors couldn’t tell him if he would ever walk again. But with physical therapy and a positive mindset, number 10 has returned to the ice. bostonglobe.com/2024/01/29/met…

As a bookshop owner in the middle of the country, I have many thoughts about this. I don't disagree, and give praise to the people who work incredibly hard on behalf of writers, but for the future of books and democracy, publishers need to set their sights beyond the northeast.
