Writing Buddies Scheme

Hello all writers!
Writing, as we all know, can be a lonely exercise, and it can help the creative process enormously to have a fellow writer to bounce ideas off, to talk over themes with, and to finally have read and critique your finished work. Writing groups, such as the critiquing group run by "Writers in Jerusalem", can help with all of this, but very often such group meetings are too impersonal, too infrequent and too focused on the finished product. This is where "Writers in Jerusalem"'s "Writing Buddy" scheme comes in. If you are working on a novel or similarly lengthy work, and are looking for a friend willing to take the time to read it and make suggestions, or if you are looking for a writer with a similar mindset to yourself, whom you can share ideas with in order to kick off the creative process, then our "Writing Buddy" scheme, which is now going nationwide, is for you. All that you have to commit to is to return the favour, by reading their work, etc. Do not worry if you live in a remote non-anglo corner of the country, or are only available during anti-social hours. It is quite possible to communicate with your writing pal via email and instant-messenger.
There are two ways of getting involved. Firstly, you can send an email to adamehad@gmail.com, specifying where you live, what sort of writing you are working on, and what sort of person you think would be able to help you (and you would be able to help in return).
Secondly, you can wait for our "Writers bar night", which will be held somewhere in central Jerusalem, on the second Wednesday night of December (times, etc, to be confirmed), where you can meet with a range of English speaking writers from across the country.
So whatever your thing is; essays, novels, short stories or poetry, if you are looking for a friend to help with your work, get in touch!
