Why take a multi-week writing workshop?

When we learn new skills, we need time to assimilate the knowledge, to let it seep into and enhance our writing.

Workshops are an opportunity to focus on a subject over a longer period of time. 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. 

We'd love to hear your suggestions for workshops you'd like to see on offer. We'll track down a qualified instructor to make it happen.

Why attend a masterclass?

In a masterclass, you might: 
  • ​investigate writing in a different genre
  • focus intensely on a particular area within your genre 
  • explore an aspect of craft in depth

Since our inception in 2016, WriteSpace Jerusalem has had the pleasure of hosting writers from Israel and abroad who excel in teaching: Ilana Blumberg, Rachel Creeger, Anna Levine, Judy Dick, Debbie Herman, Sherri Mandell, Joanna Chen, Jane Medved, Ariella Eshed, Annette Gendler, and Jessamyn Hope.

Genres taught have included: storytelling, playwriting, comedy, memoir, fiction, poetry, children, and educational writing.
