WHO WE ARE
Jean Meltzer, Founder and CEO
Jean Meltzer studied dramatic writing at NYU Tisch and has earned numerous awards for her work in television, including a Daytime Emmy. She spent five years in rabbinical school before her chronic illness forced her to withdraw, and her father told her she should write a book - just not a Jewish one because no one reads those. She is the author of the internationally bestselling The Matzah Ball, Mr. Perfect on Paper, Kissing Kosher, Magical Meet Cute, and The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah. Learn more at www.jeanmeltzer.com
