Jonathan Ames has edited several anthologies that reflect his eclectic literary tastes. His editorial work brings together diverse voices around specific themes, often with a personal or offbeat angle that sets them apart from standard collections.

110 Stories (2004) gathers writing from New York authors responding to the September 11th attacks, creating a literary time capsule of that moment. Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant (2007) takes the more intimate subject of solo cooking and dining, with contributors sharing their experiences of eating alone. The Insomniac Reader (2005) and Awake! (2007) explore sleeplessness and wakefulness, while Coming and Crying (2010) collects frank personal essays about sexuality. Each anthology bears Ames’s stamp as a curator of honest, unguarded writing.
