"Immigrant Writing" Readings Event and "Writers Bar Night"

“Immigrant Writing” Readings Event

Place: Downstairs at “Coffee Shop”, 24 Hillel St.
Time: December 15th, 7:30 – 8:30pm (followed by “Writers Bar night”)

“Writers in Jerusalem” is proud to present an evening of readings on the subject of Immigration, and we want you to take part. If you are an English-language writer living in Israel, chances are you have something already written on the subject. Why do people choose to leave one country, and what is their experience of the country to which they have chosen to move? Do they feel like exiles or returnees? At home or like foreigners? Our “Immigrant Writing” event is not an open-mike night – it is a sit-down event in a friendly, welcoming environment, part of our attempts to get English-language writers in Israel to get to know each other better and to share ideas. Getting involved is easy. If you have written something that you would like others to hear, or have a favourite passage/poem by another author, on the subject of immigration, simply email adamehad@gmail.com to say so. We also welcome “just-listeners”, and although it is fine to just turn up the night, we prefer that you email ahead so that we can know numbers.

“Writer’s Bar night”

Place: Downstairs at “Coffee Shop”, 24 Hillel St.
Time: December 15th, 8:30pm – 10:30pm

“Writers in Jerusalem” is proud to present a night out on the town for writers from all over Israel. Too many English-speaking writers in this country feel isolated, with no-one to share and discuss their work with. If you are one of their number, or simply want to have a fun evening, come along to our bar night, which will be immediately preceded by our “Immigrant Writing” Readings event. The Writers Bar Night is also dovetailed with our “Writing Buddy” scheme, which you can read about here: http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2010/10/writing-buddies-scheme.html
