Creative writing classes in English in Israel
Israel Writers Studio: a home for English-language creative writers and a hot cup of tea in my grandma’s floral teapot. A safe, supportive place to learn the craft, play with words, and be part of a writing community. A space that offers ongoing classes, half-day workshops, and one-on-one mentoring with Jennifer Lang, writer, instructor/coach, editor.
On Making the Most of Every Word

Cost: 400nis before July 1; 450nis subsequently

Summer Workshopping Camp
Do you have stories you want to strengthen? Pieces that need other people’s eyes? Are you craving a peer group of writers to read your work and give you feedback? For 5 consecutive sessions, we will learn the art of workshopping. How to critique someone’s writing (not criticize) to help make it better. There will not be any writing prompts. This is not a generative class.
