WEB NEWS
If you don't know about FORA.TV,
here's your chance. Before just before the venerable Cody's Books closed in
June 2008, Ellen Sussman and several Dirty Words contributors, including Meredith,
read from the book. Watch the whole reading, or for Meredith's bit, click
on, yes, Bisexuality.
Meredith's 6/11/08 Salon story, When Panic Attacks, was picked up by Jezebel.com... ...and Toronto's Globe and Mail.
BOOK NEWS
Meredith has something sexy in Dirty
Words, edited by Ellen Sussman, now out from Bloomsbury, with co-conspirators
Ann Hood, Erica Jong, Daphne Merkin, Jane Smiley, Phillip Lopate, Mary Roach,

Meredith will have a chapter in Rebecca Walker's new anthology, Walk This Way: Introducing The New American Family, to be published by Riverhead Books in 2009...
