Do We Need a New Generation of Jewish and Israeli Publishers? with William Kolbrener, Howard Lovy and Amy E. Schwartz

Tuesday, September 29 at 1pm, ET / 10am, PT

Since October 7, Jewish writers, particularly Israelis, have perceived a wave of hostility in the literary world. Is this the new reality for Jewish literature? Join Bar-Ilan University professor William Kolbrener, publisher of the global platform Writing on the Wall, and journalist Howard Lovy, editor-in-chief of the new trade press Canary Publishing, for a conversation about the state of publishing today and the challenges facing Jewish and Israeli writers in an increasingly polarized literary landscape. How have publishers, literary institutions and writers responded to October 7 and its aftermath? And what does the current moment mean for the future of Jewish voices in publishing? In conversation with Moment Opinion & Books Editor Amy E. Schwartz.
