Jewish Women's Literary Annual

You don't have to be Jewish and you don't have to be a woman to enjoy reading the Jewish Women's Literary Annual, but you must be both to see your work appear in its pages and that work must be good enough for the New Yorker: those are our standards. Each year, a new book in hand, every reader enjoys fresh Jewish stories and sparkling poetry.

Readers and prospective contributors find us in Poets' House and in our listing in Poets' Market. We run fiction too, in particular chapters from novels-in-progress: nothing at all that has been published. We must have first rights, even from well-known writers. All our authors are pleased to see who shares our pages with them. The editors are writers too, and include a modest sample of their own new works. To insure future Jewish readers the joy of beautiful new writing, we are working to put the Jewish Women’s Literary Annual upon a firm financial foundation in an accessible format online and in print.

The writing of Jewish women is very special and particular. We have been happy to provide a comfortable home for it for over twenty years.
