Visual Journaling as a Creative Tool

Tell me more about visual journaling
Visual journaling can be one of the most rewarding forms of expression. And the best part is that you don’t need to be an "artist" or a “writer” to create and keep a visual journal. The goal is rather to tap into the mind’s natural mix of ideas, images and words by bringing together color, texts and pictures. It is about play, experimentation and exploration rather than display. ​

Need help pushing your story through from beginning to end? 

Break through “writer’s block".
​
Move your story from your imagination onto the page. 

Learn how manage the creator and editor sides of your brain. 


Engage your senses, hone your skills and ​put words on the page in a series of 8 creative writing workshops with fiction writer, Nadia Jacobson, and hybrid & creative non-fiction writer, Batnadiv HaKarmi.​

​Whenever we write autobiographically, we are writing from the moment in which we find ourselves. How can we both recapture the perspective of our past selves and be true to our current self's insights? 

​This seminar will consider how we write in the present about 
the dramatic and not-so-dramatic moments that have brought us to this day, evoking the past vividly while balancing it with our current knowledge of ourselves and the world in which we live. 


Readings will be sent out upon registration.
Who we are is shaped powerfully by where we are. Our homes and streets and neighborhoods, our childhood towns or cities, are more than just the "setting"; they make some lives and life choices possible, and others impossible. 

In this workshop, we will consider the relationship between who we understand ourselves to be, the places we have found and find ourselves, and the actions or events that have happened and can happen in those places. We will also think about what travel, or relocation, can mean for our identities. Together, we will look at some models of this sort of writing and experiment with writing it ourselves.

Readings will be sent out two weeks in advance of the seminar.

Picture
This half-day workshop, we will examine the process of  developing a manuscript for a children’s book. The aim is to guide aspiring writers for children through the process of translating their inspirations and first texts into publishable manuscripts. 

A little about ourselves

Writing in English in a sea of Hebrew can be isolating. WriteSpace Jerusalem offers a community and a wide array of quality writing workshops and seminars showcasing talented writers from Israel and abroad, with a view to nurturing English-language writing in Israel. Writers will be able to choose areas of interest—from op-eds and blogs, to fiction, poetry and memoir--building a program that is tailored to their needs. 
 
We'd love to hear your suggestions for workshops and seminars. What would you like to see? Please contact us and we'll try to make it happen.
