#thejewishangle — Public Fediverse posts

"Back in April, bestselling #author #MegKeene came on #TheJewishAngle—with some reluctance—to talk about what she saw as a growing problem for #Jewish #writers in mainstream #publishing. She spoke about being quietly pressured from agents, #publishers and industry insiders to change Jewish characters’ names and hide #Israeli backgrounds or connections.

But rather than be excommunicated from the publishing world, her inbox filled up with messages from writers and publishers in the same situation. She’s since worked with the #AntiDefamationLeague and an offer from the publishers at #WickedSon to start her own imprint, #MegKeeneBooks.

Now #Keene is on a mission to #publish around four Jewish #fiction #books over the next year, from romance to thriller."
