hank you so much for visiting my website. I'm working on some updates, including a section with links to my recent articles. I'm also working on putting together some readings of Fat Envelope Frenzy for the fall and hope to have those events posted shortly. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in having me speak to your school, community center, church/synagogue/mosque or book club. The best part of writing is getting to share your ideas and learn from others.

Thanks again for your interest in my work.

Mark your Calendars: Joie Jager-Hyman will be speaking at the 38th Annual National Jewish Student Journalism and Writing Conference to be held on Sunday, May 3rd. Learn More.

Best of 2008:Fat Envelope Frenzy was picked as one of the best books of 2008 by The Daily News Online. See the complete list.

[FAT ENVELOPE FRENZY] makes for an engaging book that every parent with a high-school student will want to read... The reader ends up rooting for each of these kids, which lends the narrative a bit of dramatic tension, and Ms Jager-Hyman tells their stories with unfailing sympathy in an earnest, straightforward style.”

This is not just another how-to book for Ivy-angsting applicants and parents. Joie Jager-Hyman's engaging stories of real students provide a much-needed reminder that the road taken may mean more than the destination, and---whatever the college-admission outcomes--there are many such roads to happiness and success.”
