Deborah Emin
Deborah Emin lives and works mostly in her Queens apartment. She is hard at
work on a number of projects that include a new novel, Scags at 18, as well as a
number of short stories and a few articles to help her spread the word about the
things she cares about—travel, politics and books.
She has taught writing to a variety of students for many years and while she
enjoyed that work immensely and credits her students with truly teaching her
how to write, now that she has learned she is spending more time writing and
less time teaching. That doesn’t mean that she has ended her teaching career
altogether, only that she is more selective about which students she works with.
Partly this is just her need to have more time to write without lots of other
peoples’ stories rumbling around in her head. She prefers to wake up in the
middle of the night with a solution to her own plot dilemmas rather than thinking
about her students’ stories.
Her background, academically, was primarily as a literary critic as opposed to a
writer. She did study with a few writers but found their methods and her needs
rarely coincided. What impressed her most about working with writing students
who were truly interested in literature was how generous they were. In a matter of
a few weeks, these students could explain and explore their connection to
writing, to their own processes and to what made their need to write a significant
part of their daily lives.
Now at the tail end of a long and perhaps too lengthy learning curve, Deborah is
engaged in trying to find that perfect balance between wanting to tell a very good
story and wanting that story to explore and question the confluence of art, politics
and the spiritual. When she sits down every day to write, she is grateful to so
many people for the kind of encouragement they have provided her in order to
make this dream a reality.

Rob Lebow
Rob Lebow comes to Sullivan Street Press after 20 years of professional work
as a Computer Technology specialist, ranging from programming, to network
engineering, to wireless networks and applications. In his spare time he is an
avid photographer and enjoys fiction writing as a hobby. He spent years working

development teams, and has had a hand in two startup companies in the past.

including product and business development, with an eye towards keeping
Sullivan Street Press on the cutting edge of innovative electronic media. Please
feel free to visit Rob's photo site here.
Angela Goldstein
From a young age, Angela Goldstein knew that she wanted to be a writer. She
studied journalistic writing in college and made a career out of grant writing. She
has over eight years of development experience, specifically in the fields of
health care, education, and the arts. Currently, she freelances, lending her
expertise to a variety of non-profit organizations in the areas of grant writing,
researching, direct mail, and database management.
When Angela is not freelancing or chasing after her two little girls, she is proudly
1/3 of the "think tank" that makes up Sullivan Street Press. Angela brings to the
table writing, marketing, website development, and problem-solving abilities,
coupled with a positive attitude and off-the-wall sense of humor. She is
committed to fostering the mission of SSP, while maintaining the integrity of the
company and publishing as a whole. As a writer, she is ready to take on the
challenge of helping other writers find their voice, and as a businesswoman,
Angela looks forward to making SSP a trend-setter in an ever-changing industry.
In her spare time, Angela tries her best to remain true to her own writing. Several
of her non-fiction pieces have appeared online and in print.
