Meital Fried is a senior at the NYC Lab School living in Brooklyn. She loves theater, writing, the New York Mets (that’s love-hate, really), her Jewish community, and new experiences. A serial club leader, Meital needs to learn to chill out — last time she counted, she was co-president of the student newspaper, drama club, Jewish Student Union, and one more she always forgets. Her work has been published in Stone Soup Magazine and the collection Everything Momentarily and won an honorable mention in the Ned Vizzini Teen Writing Contest.
