Hilary Zaid has been a Tennessee Williams Scholar at the Sewanee Writers’ Conference, a James D. Houston Fellow at the Community of Writers and a two-time attendance of Tin House Writers’ Workshop. Her work has appeared in Mother Jones, Ecotone, Day One, Lilith Magazine, and elsewhere. Long-listed for the 2018 Northern California Independent Booksellers’ Award for Fiction, her novel Paper is White is a 2018 Foreword Indies silver medalist and the winner of the 2018 Independent Publishers’ Book Awards (IPPY) in LGBT+ Fiction. Her novel Forget I Told You This, is the inaugural winner of the Barbara DiBernard Award. Title: Forget I Told You This Description: Amy Black, a single mother and an aspiring artist in love with calligraphy, dreams of a coveted artist’s residency at the world’s largest social media company, Q. When a stranger asks Amy to transcribe a love letter for him, his disappearance leads her straight to Q — with the chance to style herself a 21st-century soferet—and to a group of data privacy vigilantes who want her to burn Q to the ground. A very contemporary Jewish novel about faith, free will and what it means to believe, Forget I Told You This asks us what it means to see and be seen in a world in which our every move is surveilled.
