Are you reading the summer away, or have you barely picked up a book?

A Jewish Editor Edits a Jewish YA Novel

As a soon-to-be graduate of the Master’s in Book Publishing program, a budding editor, and a Jewish person born and raised, I have had the pleasure of working on Ruth Tenzer Feldman’s upcoming YA novel, Seven Stitches. Like her previous two books, Judaism and the protagonist’s Jewish identity and heritage play a central role in […]

Guest Post: What’s the First Crusade Got To Do with the Free Speech Movement?

Fifty years ago today, at 3:05 a.m. on December 3, 1964, Edward Strong, chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, started speaking through his bullhorn to the eight hundred or so people occupying Berkeley’s administration building. Strong told protesters to leave the building they’d occupied peacefully the day before, or face “disciplinary action” and […]

The police had driven the car onto Sproul Plaza on campus. After […]

OR SCBWI: Art Directors, Agents, and Editors, Oh My!

My interest […]
