When not writing and working with children, Faith writes and produces her own genre of "schlock operas," including "Miss Folk America" and "Jesus Has Two Mommies." Faith worked in Chicago as a musical director for Second City, as well as created musicals with The Annoyance Theater. It was at the Annoyance Theater where Faith and Jill co-created The Real Live Brady Bunch, which went on to see national success. Faith currently resides in Boston with her partner Carol and her daughter Betsy. Jill Soloway has worked as a writer and executive producer on such shows as How to Make It in America, United States of Tara, and Six Feet Under. She authored Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants, a hilarious/dirty/sad memoir hailed as a post-feminist manifesto for the next generation. She is currently adapting the Pamela des Barres book I'm With The Band into a 1/2 hour comedy for HBO with Zooey Deschanel. Jill started out doing theater with her sister Faith in Chicago.

Keep in Touch

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.

We support independent bookstores! 10% of sales on any titles purchased through our Bookshop.org page or affiliate links benefits the magazine.
