In the lush literature landscape, Isaac Bashevis Singer stands out as a gardener of the imagination, planting seeds with his words that blossom into profound insights for his readers. His assertion that writers hold the power to spark the minds of the young is a testament to his belief in the enduring impact of storytelling. Born in Poland in 1902 and later taking refuge in the United States to escape the rise of Nazism, Singer’s life was a tapestry of rich experiences that colored his work with shades of depth and authenticity.
The Struggle and the Story
Singer’s narrative was rife with adversity that lends truth to fiction. The early years of his life were shadowed by war and loss, themes that would later emerge in his writing. His novel The Family Moskat paints a vivid picture of life that, although fictional, draws heavily from the real world he knew too well. It was through his writing that Singer processed his past and grappled with the universal questions of faith and humanity.
A Brother’s Influence
The tale of Singer’s relationship with his brother, Israel Joshua Singer, is equally compelling, revealing the intricate dynamics that fuel creativity. Although they shared a vocation, Isaac’s choice to write in Yishuv was a defining moment, allowing him to honor his roots and distinguish his voice in the literary chorus. This decision shaped his career and ensured a culture’s survival through the preservation of its language.
A Cultural Beacon
Singer’s contribution to literature was a bridge between worlds, bringing the stories of Eastern European Jews to a global audience. His works, such as Enemies and A Love Story, reached beyond the Jewish community, striking chords with a diverse readership. Singer’s stories are not mere tales but vessels carrying the weight of cultural identity, morality, and the complexities of the human condition.
A Legacy of Resilience
Today, Singer’s legacy endures as a reminder of the resilience of storytelling. His life’s work underscores the power of narrative to capture imaginations, challenge perspectives, and connect us across the divides of time and space. As we encounter his stories, we’re reminded of the silent strength of the written word and its capacity to shape history and touch individual lives.
The Call to Write
This blog post is an invitation to rediscover the works of Isaac Bashevis Singer, to explore The Slave or Satan in Goray, and to be inspired to tell our own stories. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or someone just finding their voice, Singer’s journey is a call to embrace the transformative power of writing. As professionals, creatives, or simply members of the human family, our stories have the potential to sow seeds of change and understanding.
In honoring Singer’s memory, we commit to nurturing the seeds we plant with our words and deeds, hoping they will grow into the forests of tomorrow’s understanding. Let’s take a page from Singer’s book and write our stories to inspire, connect, and endure.

Cortex is for serious authors and will probably not be of interest to hobbyists. We recorded our Cortex training and information meeting.

Correction:
We take the quote by Marcella Smith, Small Press Business Manager, Barnes & Noble seriously: “The author is essential to the success of the book, giving energy behind the book to make it something that a customer will come in and ask for. That is what makes the difference in a book that sells, that develops legs, and has a life of its own. Otherwise the book goes on the shelf and stays there for three months. Then it gets returned.”

We hear authors complain about all the personal stuff on Facebook. Most of these complaints are because the author doesn’t understand the difference difference between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page. Simply put, a profile is for personal things for friends and family; a page is for business. If your book is just a hobby, then it’s fine to have only a Facebook profile and make your posts for friends and family; however, if you’re serious about your writing, and it’s a business with you, or you want it to be business, then you need a Facebook page as an author. It’s simple to tell if it’s a page or a profile. A profile shows how many friends and a page shows how many likes. Here’s a link <> to a straight forward description on how to set up your author Facebook page.
