Happy happy pub day to LETTER TO A STRANGER! I was lucky enough to read this baby in manuscript form and can attest to its exceptional and diverse reading pleasures. With starred reviews already from @LibraryJournal@PublishersWkly@ShelfAwareness. Get one while it's hot.
If you wrote a letter to a stranger—to someone you once met and can't quite shake—who would you choose? Tell us by replying with “My #lettertoastranger is: To the _____," a title in the spirit of LETTER TO A STRANGER, released today by @algonquinbooks.
A beautiful little review of STRANGERS WITH THE SAME DREAM @KnopfCA from @TBayPL five years after it was published. What a nice feeling it is to sometimes reach a reader. @KarolinaSutton

And on the topic of ultra-talented theatre types, I just devoured THE LISTENERS by @TannahillJordan. Deelish. Thanks for the inspiration @HarperCollinsCa.
Live theatre is back! Such a treat to sit in the dark with strangers and watch LIGHT @tarragontheatre by the supremely talented Rosa Laborde. Highly recommended.
Thank you @cbcbooks for including my intergenerational trauma memoir Kiss the Red Stairs: The Holocaust, Once Removed on your list of Canadian non-fiction to watch for this spring. It means a lot.

2022 submissions are now open! https://t.co/q51HIz4Jt5
Sitting on 8 deal announcements, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the opening bell tomorrow for publishing to begin again!
The book business is booming & I'm choosing optimism this year.
I'm choosing to celebrate success.
I'm choosing to clap for everyone's wins.
Loss, what's that? Those two
hands which once held mine
now holding up a blanket
of snow—does this qualify?
Frankly, all I can say is
I've been to a funny place
inside myself, where simple
answers fall like ashes
through an iron grate.

My book! My ACTUAL dream come true!! She has a spine! And heft! And 282 perfect pages! This is just the ARC - it still needs to be proofed before the final printing (for her Sept. 7 debut), but I AM EXPLODING WITH JOY! ✈️💌📒 @bookhugpress#LettersToAmelia#AmeliaEarhart
Haaretz israeli daily newspaper prints on its front page the photos of 67 children who were killed in Gaza, with the title: “this is the price of the war”.
SAVE THE DATE!
Did you know that we announced dates for the 2022 IWR & IRR? Save April 27-May 1st. We hope to open registration late summer/early fall once we know more about travel restrictions. For now, save the date!
