Gil Frank takes his pen to land on paper in Atlanta, Paris, Jerusalem, and occasionally Kingston, Jamaica. Immigrating to the United States in 2003 tormented his relationship to language. He survived by leveraging the three languages he owns in his writing process. 

He sees memoirs as fiction, as both are writings of the self, stories we tell ourselves or those who shape our lives. He refuses genre categorization. For Gil, writing is “sustained reading” as Torri Morrison said. Books and literary journals give the desire to author and inspire your craft. 

He published two literary fictions: Yocheved, The Friend of My Mind, and The Friend of My Mind: A Love Story. He edited The book of Unearthing. He translated Yocheved, The Friend of My Mind into French
