This Thursday on Killer Women Podcast, our guest is Jillian Medoff. Jillian’s fifth novel, WHEN WE WERE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL, is a story about privilege, power, consent and dirty, sexy money. It garnered many accolades; it was a Book of the Month Club selection, an Apple Books Best of the Month, an Audible Editor’s Pick, a PEOPLE Pick of the Week, a Town and Country Magazine and O Daily favorite and a Publishers Marketplace Buzz Book, among others. She is the author of four other novels including the national bestseller, I COULDN’T LOVE YOU MORE, the acclaimed workplace novel THIS COULD HURT, and HUNGER POINT, which was made into an original Lifetime movie starring Christina Hendricks and Barbara Hershey and directed by Joan Micklin Silver in 2003. A former fellow at MacDowell, Blue Mountain Center and VCCA, Jillian has an MFA from NYU. She studied with Mona Simpson (her thesis advisor) and Jonathan Dee; and took master classes with Toni Morrison, Grace Paley, and Joyce Carol Oates. In addition to writing novels, Jillian has a long career in corporate consulting. Since her early days at Max Factor and American Home Goods, she’s worked for a wide range of employers, including Deloitte and Aon. Now with Segal Benz, she advises clients on communication strategies for all aspects of the employee experience. Jillian lives with her husband, Keith Dawson and three adult daughters, who come and go. She reviews novels for the New York Times Book Review, and is currently working on a new book called THE COMMITTEE, a story about medical ethics and race in Seattle, circa 1961.
