What does it mean to be an immigrant? How does it affect your writing? Over the course of the evening, we heard some inspiring new talent from all segments of Anglo-Israeli society, and had some engaging discussion on the subject. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"&gt;Immediately following this event, we also held the Writers in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; social "bar night". This event had a dual purpose – both to allow Anglo-Israeli writers to socialize, and also to serve as the final stage in our Writing Buddy scheme. (Which you can read more about here: &lt;a href="http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2010/10/writing-buddies-scheme.html"&gt;http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2010/10/writing-buddies-scheme.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"&gt;The Writing Buddy scheme has provided very mixed results. I have heard some very positive things from various writers who met at the event, or who picked up one of the sheets of paper. (Lists of contact and information details of other writers who were interested in the Writing Buddy scheme but could not make the event were handed out and circulated after the readings). I am happy to hear that many writers are already helping each other to improve their work. Unfortunately there are a number who have not been contacted by any other interested party and it would only be fair to say that, sadly, Writers in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; have been unable to help them. (We apologise for the delay in letting you guys know…but we have been trying to think of various other solutions – without success.)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"&gt;December's Immigrant Writing and Bar Night events were not the first that Writers in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; have organized, but they were a new experience for myself personally. I have been involved with Writers in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:city&gt; since making aliyah a year and a half ago, and during all that time was living in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; itself. Recently, however, I made the move to the Merkaz region, and thus had to organize these events from the other side of the Judean hills, something which as many will remember, resulted in some last minute problems on the night.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"&gt;The last few months have been very busy for me personally, and the next few months, during which I will be applying for and hopefully starting a Masters Degree in Creative Writing, will be bussier still. As the main organizer of Writers in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; events, it seems only fair to suppose that for the next few months at least, we will be having fewer events. Our monthly critiquing group, for instance, has not met for two months and will probably not meet either this month or the next. Writers in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; remains active however as a source of information about literary events in the city. We are always happy to receive information which we will post on our site. The site (&lt;a href="http://www.writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/"&gt;www.writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;) lists information about other critiquing groups in the city, which, now that ours is meeting less often, might prove useful to some of our regular members.&lt;br /&gt;Hoping you are all well and writing,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"&gt;"Adam Ehad"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5061951199057029516-8868808990196288884?l=writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/feeds/8868808990196288884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2011/02/update-from-writers-in-jerusalem.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5061951199057029516/posts/default/8868808990196288884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5061951199057029516/posts/default/8868808990196288884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2011/02/update-from-writers-in-jerusalem.html' title='An update from Writers in Jerusalem'/><author><name>Adam Ehad</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YFCRVjx16oU/SfW_9HBS73I/AAAAAAAAANI/C_-mC3iqu0Q/S220/words_are_sweet.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061951199057029516.post-7344255571130465611</id><published>2010-11-01T06:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-01T06:26:14.488-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Immigrant Writing" Readings Event and "Writers Bar Night"</title><content type='html'>“Immigrant Writing” Readings Event&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Place: Downstairs at “Coffee Shop”, 24 Hillel St.&lt;br /&gt;Time: December 15th, 7:30 – 8:30pm (followed by “Writers Bar night”)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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 &lt;a href="mailto:adamehad@gmail.com"&gt;adamehad@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Writer’s Bar night”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Place: Downstairs at “Coffee Shop”, 24 Hillel St.&lt;br /&gt;Time: December 15th, 8:30pm – 10:30pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5061951199057029516-7344255571130465611?l=writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/feeds/7344255571130465611/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2010/11/immigrant-writing-readings-event-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5061951199057029516/posts/default/7344255571130465611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5061951199057029516/posts/default/7344255571130465611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://writersinjerusalem.blogspot.com/2010/11/immigrant-writing-readings-event-and.html' title='&quot;Immigrant Writing&quot; Readings Event and &quot;Writers Bar Night&quot;'/><author><name>Adam Ehad</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YFCRVjx16oU/SfW_9HBS73I/AAAAAAAAANI/C_-mC3iqu0Q/S220/words_are_sweet.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061951199057029516.post-6325148551308859598</id><published>2010-10-26T02:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-26T03:00:13.478-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Writing Buddies Scheme</title><content type='html'>Hello all writers!&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;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).&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;So whatever your thing is;
