"[A]ctress, activist, and #NewYorkTimes bestselling #author #AnnabelleGurwitch[...] debuts her #memoir, The End of My Life is Killing Me: The Unexpected Joys of a Cancer Slacker. The #book has received extensive advance praise, including the coveted Buzz #Books distinction as one of the most buzz-worthy releases of the season."

"Born out of a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, Annabelle describes her memoir as “…the book I didn’t think I’d live long enough to write.” New York Times bestselling author Will Schwalbe calls the book “…a Trojan Horse of sorts: a hysterically funny page-turner that is packed throughout with practical advice and timeless wisdom.”

"Annabelle’s title and witty charm had me hooked immediately. I was eager to learn more, in this first installment of my new series highlighting #Jewish #authors as they #publish new work. (Because if you haven’t noticed, there’s never been a better time to support the Jewish community.)"

"[T]he arrival of LLMs does not appear to have displaced activity by incumbent authors... [T]here is a separate question of whether AI facilitates the creation of content that would be well-regarded by critics or other cultural elites... [T]he absence of an effect at the top suggests a limit to how much LLMs can help with elite cultural production." (Imke Reimers & Joel Waldfogel 2026)

Do Medium Pubs Enhance Relationships?

The Medium forum gives writers the option to submit their work to a "publication" (or "pub"). Supposedly, the pub has ability to find readers.

Does this work?
