The New Forty will bring together a cohort of 6-10 women ages 40 to 100+ who are new to writing for publication. We invite you to apply to participate in a completely cost-free one-year program providing opportunities for mentoring, learning and peer-to-peer support, with the goal of publication and promotion on Lilith’s robust platforms––digital, print and face-to-face. You will receive encouragement and editorial support, and learn from Lilith staff and guest presenters through individual meetings and group sessions held virtually. This project is designed with an added goal of combating ageism and highlighting the rich lived stories we know this cadre of emerging writers have to tell.

Jews of all backgrounds and geographical locations are encouraged to apply!
