I was thinking of starting a literary magazine through dybbuk press titled zionist thugs (thanks Vanessa Redgrave for the phrase. Also thanks Vanessa Redgrave for calming the fuck down since the 70s) but right now I'm still working on publishing a book by romie Stott which i bought a few years ago and we are in the editing process.
(Originally I thought that if I got a job as a staff writer at orthodox union I could start a literary frum magazine but then I didn't get hired and october 7 happened)
Don't know how much you guys have in terms of resources. Would love to pitch something like zionist thugs.
After much dithering and a few tentative nibbles, I decided to do a pitch deck for my novel, THE POMEGRANATE. Already published, it was getting good reviews on Amazon and some folks "in the business," thought I should prep it to pitch. We were setting up with some casual meetings with streaming folk when October 7th went down. By January, the nibbles we had were gone, hinting that they couldn't do "Jewish content," especially a story set in the 12th century against the action of the Third Crusade, a time of cooperation, when Jews and Muslims were trying to rid their land of the Crusaders. My knuckles knocked raw, I was urged to hold it back, which ultimately I have done. Not happily. I still query, but get no response at all, A shame, because the pitch deck is lovely.
I applaud you LOUDLY for taking on Jewish content. Perhaps you can make a dent. And if it's of interest, I can send you the pitch deck.
YYESSSSSSS I’m so glad more Zionist writers are getting involved. They can try to push us out, but they’ll never silence the Jews. I am a Zionist Poet, and it’s been agony to try to get my work published anywhere, but themes the brakes. Better to be true to who you are than try to live as something else.

I’m here. Let me know what I can do. Do you know Zibby Owens? She’s an author and publisher. She has a Substack.
Zionist Thugs - I love it.
