Reasons people reach out
The subject can be simple.
Host a conversation or presentation
Libraries, community organizations, book clubs, faith communities, schools, and civic groups can write about an author talk, a historical presentation, or The Destination We Are Choosing.
Books, readers, and book groups
If you have read Miracles Through Hell or Echoes of History, have a question, or want to bring one of the books into a group discussion, I am glad to hear from you.
Second-generation work
For programs, peer conversations, survivor-family organizations, or questions about the children and descendants of Holocaust survivors, write about the setting and what you hope to explore.
Media, interviews, and community inquiries
For interviews, podcasts, articles, community programs, or questions about the larger body of work, send a little context and the best way to continue the conversation.
Send a message
Write directly from this page.
You do not need a formal proposal. A few honest sentences are enough to begin.
Continuing writing
My essays live on Substack.
For ongoing writing about history, human behavior, inherited memory, economic and social pressure, and the patterns shaping modern life, follow the essays there.
