I'm a writer. A bestselling author. A small-empire builder. Jewess. Mom of two. Former dancer (current if there is a dance floor). I went to NYU/Tisch and majored in experimental theatre. I've been writing in public since 2008, with a huge online blast radius. The Times of Israel called me an "eponymous tastemaker," probably because I think smart and cool should go together.
I'm a lifelong liberal and a Zionist. These days, my politics are: the Jewish people.
I'm Meg Keene
