We are excited to celebrate the publication of our beloved executive editor @sarahmseltzer’s debut novel, “The Singer Sisters” (@flatiron_books )!
With the richness of a beloved folk song, “The Singer Sisters” moves between ‘60s folk clubs and ‘90s music festivals, chronicling the ups and downs of stardom while asking what women artists must sacrifice for success.
We’ve been fans of Sarah and Sarah’s writing for so many years, since her first short story was published in Lilith. This is a triumph and hope you’ll join us in wishing her a HUGE mazel tov in the comments.

*content warning: discussion of eating disorders*
Read Bonnie Friedman`s "A Language of Appetite & the Jewish Woman Who First Heard It"--and dive into the world of the woman who gave anorexia its name. Linked in our bio. 🔗
"I discovered the work of Hilde Bruch in an odd way. She wrote about eating disorders, none of which I was suffering from. What I was suffering from was the inability to write the first book for which I had contracted. I had never had a problem writing before. But the contract—an oversized document medallioned with translucent watermarks, its pages scrolling on top and bottom like a fairy-tale decree summoned an inner obstacle. I could not compose the pages I’d loved imagining."

We`re still thinking about the creative writing prompt @dianacspechler shared with us at Tuesday`s fantastic writing workshop, "Authenticity on the Page." ➡️ Fill in the blank and write at least a page without censoring yourself: The last time I lied, ______.
And if you want to read more short fiction that captures authenticity on the page, check out Lilith’s groundbreaking Jewish feminist anthology, "Frankly Feminist: Short Stories by Jewish Women"—featuring Diana’s story, “Glass”!
Short story collections on Jewish writers have — no surprise — typically given women authors short shrift. This new volume represents the best Jewish feminist fiction published in Lilith magazine, and does what no other collection has done before in its geographic scope, its inclusion of 21st-century stories, and its Jewish feminist focus.
