We’re wrapping up HSSW Spring 2023! Join us virtually for a review of Eafat Newton’s SHE’S GOT TO BE KIDDING on Monday, May 22nd at 7-9pm EST.

Logline: An aspiring teenaged comedian and her estranged father end up on a week-long road trip, each keeping a life-changing secret from the other.

Genre: Young Adult Novel 
About the Author: Eafat has been a member of HSSW since 2013. She has a film certificate from Emerson College and an MBA from Vanderbilt University.  She is co-producer of Boston’s Women in Comedy Festival.

Eafat wrote SHE’S GOT TO BE KIDDING when she found herself pinned between parenting two teenagers and watching her own father make difficult end-of-life decisions. Comedy provided her–and her characters–a way to cope, completing the familiar equation of tragedy plus time.
