I am a Jerusalem-based writer, editor, and I teach creative writing one-on-one and in workshops.
I hold an MA in English Literature and Creative Writing from Bar-Ilan University, and my fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in The Waking, The Miramichi Reader, Meniscus, The Binnacle, Annalemma, Every Day Fiction, and a number of anthologies.
I have been a fiction editor at The Ilanot Review, an international online creative writing journal, from its inception in 2009, and have served as co-Municipal Liaison for the Jerusalem region of National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo.org)
To better help my clients, I have certified as a coach and EFT practitioner. Writing, coaching, and teaching are my passions.
Let's have a chat to see how coaching and mentoring might work for you!

'Nadia, you have this deep belief in my project that encourages me. You’re always finding me new exciting avenues to go down, and the fact you get excited, gets me to write more.'
- David Schwartz, Notes on Notes: Stories of Music and the Human Experience
'Tonight we're celebrating my first win. My essay is being published by the prestigious journal First Things! I can't thank you enough for helping me get to this point. If there is one thing I know for certain, it's that this would never have happened without you. You are a superb professional and deeply talented writer, but you are also a deeply caring and supportive person, and I'm forever indebted to you for being all three.'

A Workshop on Revision
TBD, Jerusalem / via Zoom

Have you just completed the first draft of a work of fiction or memoir and feel stuck or overwhelmed?
Join a 6-week intensive with experienced writer and editor Nadia Jacobson exploring how to re-"vision" your narrative and acquire advanced writing and revision skills. |
Workshops are an opportunity to focus on a subject over a longer period of time to transform your writing. During that time you will be able to learn more about a genre and develop your craft through in-class writing and submit work for feedback from the instructor and fellow participants.
