Salaried editorial fellowship available at Lilith magazine.

I was bowled over this week by “Can You Spot the Latino?”, an essay by Salvador Litvak on Hevria.

Wishing everyone heading to the 2016 International Jewish Artist Retreat a wonderful experience!

A hearty Mazal Tov to Jessamyn Hope on a new honor for her debut novel Safekeeping.

And let’s not forget that May is Jewish American Heritage Month. Check this website for resources/info.

There are some great job opportunities advertised right now with 70 Faces Media.

Plus, a paid internship with Tablet.

Check out this new interview on Luna Luna with Ben Nadler, on Jewish literature and The Sea Beach Line.

One of this week’s searing reads: Elizabeth Edelglass’s “Abraham and Isaac,” fiction in New Haven Review.

Crowdsourcing here: I have a new poem that I’m trying to place (preferably with a paying venue) that I believe would be ideal for Yom HaAtzmaut (May 11-12 this year). Any ideas/contacts? The poem runs just over 200 words and just over 30 lines. Thanks in advance for your help!

Shabbat shalom, everyone.

May the memory of Imre Kertész, Holocaust survivor and Nobel literature laureate, be a blessing.

“When people ask me, ‘How many Jewish books do we need?’ I have to answer, ‘ALL of them.’ However many books we produce to satisfy a quota is too few. Because not every kid came from The All of a Kind Family.” Thoughts from Laurel Snyder for We Need Diverse Books.

A couple of PJ Library jobs are being advertised at the moment: In Phoenix, they’re seeking a director; in the Greater New Haven area, they’re looking for a part-time program manager.

I had the pleasure of attending an event celebrating Boris Fishman’s new novel this week; get a good overview of the book in this New Jersey Jewish News article, which also notes the author’s upcoming appearance in Maplewood.

And speaking of author events: we’ve added a bunch of new ones to the Fig Tree Books event calendar. Check ’em out!

Shabbat shalom, friends.
