I just moved my directory of Jewish Writers to its new home on Google
sites at
http://bit.ly/jwriters
I may make additional enhancements but it already as all the content
and functionality of the old site, plus a bit more. Navigation is
better on the new site and the search function means you can track down
writers by criteria (geography, genre, awards) across the alpha
arrangement. It's still not database-drive but it is handier than before.
If you have linked to it from other sites, please update your links. If
you maintain directories or guides of Jewish interest, especially
literature, please add this link.
For those who didn't know about this list, I started it in 2006,
initially as a modest (and naive) attempt at identifying major Jewish
authors. I quickly discovered that I couldn't draw a cut-off line to
distinguish "major" from others – Frederick Kohner might be a minor
literary light but the fact that he wrote Gidget makes him worth knowing
abou – and the list expanded into the hundreds and then thousands.
Various research projects, including a survey of Jewish anthologies,
have supplied names for the list and it now stands at over 5,000.
I moved it from my library's Wiki site today in order to ensure that I
can continue to maintain independently it the future.
