I have to imagine every writer goes through the quiet and endless self-doubt of the “When Am I a Real Writer?” questioning process. For me the bar is constantly moving.

Anyway, I’m proud to share my newest “real writer” milestone: I’ve been anthologized!
I present to you an anthology of essays called Living Jewishly: A Snapshot of a Generation, Stefanie Pervos Bergman, ed. (August 2012, Academic Studies Press) which includes an essay of mine. Cool, right?
Want to know more?
I’m discussing the book on tcjewfolk.com today.
