Welcome to "Writers in Jerusalem"!

Jerusalem is home to a vibrant community of creative writers, poets, essayists, and their fans. The city is the scene of many literary events, including talks, discussions, and writers' groups (for those who would like their work critiqued). Additionally, there are plenty of opportunities to work within the commercial sector, whether in technical writing, journalism, or establishing writers' courses.

At "Writers in Jerusalem", we like to concentrate on the creative, nonprofit end of the spectrum, although we're more than happy to point those interested in the commercial side of things towards appropriate sources of information. So if you're interested in being part of a genuine community in which to discuss and improve your writing, "Writers in Jerusalem" is the place for you!

Let us set you up with a "writing buddy"

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours"

One problem that many writers have is that they are working on novels or other longer pieces that are simply too long to be critiqued effectively in a two or three hour critiquing group.
If you are having this problem, you will be happy to know that there are others like you out there, who will be only too willing to read through your stuff if you agree to read through a commensurate amount of theirs. Let us set up the writing "shidduch" for you...email adamehad@gmail.com if interested.
