S3, E9, Writer and editor Jenny Bartoy on the No Contact: Writers on Estrangement anthology

Last week, the long-awaited anthology, No Contact, Writers on Estrangement, was published. And lucky for us, we have its editor, the lovely Jenny Bartoy, as my guest for this episode. Jenny and I talk about her own estrangement story, as well as her vision for this anthology and the process of compiling and editing a wide variety of essays on the experience of estrangement from all sides.

Jenny Bartoy is a French American editor and critic. Her writing appears in several anthologies and in such publications as The Boston Globe, The Seattle Times, Under the Gum Tree, Chicago Review of Books, The Rumpus, and others. She holds a master’s degree from Columbia University and lives in Tacoma, Washington.

Along with the anthology, Jenny has written recently for Literary Hub with a reading list on estrangement, and Open Secrets with her own estrangement story.

No Contact, Writers on Estrangement, is available now from Catapult Press.
