Call Me Ishmael

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST | BUY THE BOOK
🕮 At the 2016 American Library Association convention, I met Steph Kent, co-founder of CallMeIshmael.com - a website where book lovers leave voicemails telling personal stories about their favorite books. I recorded an interview with Steph on the show floor, and then later got back in touch to create "How Is This Book Different?," a project sponsored jointly by Call Me Ishmael, the Association of Jewish Libraries, and the Jewish Book Council. YOU are invited to join in! Here's how:
- Call 774-325-0503 to leave a short voicemail
- Between March 27-April 4, 2017
- With a personal story about any Jewish book that matters in your life
- Then go to CallMeIshmael.com to hear everyone's stories!
HINT: Click here for tips on making your voicemail awesome.
UPDATE: In 2020 Steph Kent and Logan Smalley published The Call Me Ishmael Phone Book: An Interactive Guide to Life-Changing Books (Simon & Schuster) - check it out!
