Julie Zuckerman's debut novel-in-stories, The Book of Jeremiah, was the runner up for the 2018 Press 53 Award for Short Fiction and was published in May 2019. Her fiction and nonfiction have been published in dozens of literary magazines. She is the founder of the Literary Modiin author series, which hosts authors of novels, story collections, memoirs, and poetry collections with Jewish content. She sends out a monthly author newsletter with book recommendations, literary events, a recipe and - lately - updates from Israel. She holds a BA from Barnard College and an MA from Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. A native of Connecticut, she made aliyah in 1995, and lives in Israel with her husband and four children in Modiin. Julie has had a long career in high tech marketing and currently works full time as a senior director of product marketing. When she's not writing or working, she can be found reading, running, biking, baking, or trying to grow things in her garden.
