Olives to Oil Writing Workshop -10% off for Elephant Members


Who: Dr. KJ Hanah Greenberg, author of over four dozen published books, former journal editor, nominee for The Pushcart Prize in Literature, The PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay, and more. https://kjhannahgreenberg.net/.

What: Five week writing course. Topics: Selecting among Your Many Experiences and Fancies, The Interdependence of Plot and Character, Integrating Words, Facts, and Other “Minutia,” The Importance of Heeding Professionals’ Critiques, and Thread Count.

Where/When: Your home. Monday nights, June 3-July 1, 8:00-10:00 pm (20:00-22:00) IST.

How: Weekly Zoom meetings plus reading, writing, and thinking homework. The first session’s assignments will be sent to you when your tuition is received.

Why: Many of my students have had their poetry, essays, or short stories published. A limited number of them have become full-time writers or editors.

I don’t promise the sun or moon. Successfully writing takes considerable effort. If you’re willing to invest in yourself, especially in multiple rewrites of your work, you might get published.

How Much: 1200 NIS [1000 NIS Returning Students and Early Birds (before May19)] (can't be combined with Elephant discount).
Payable via PayPal. Tuition is nonrefundable.

Student Testimonies:
I learned a lot, I pushed myself, I recognized that many of the things I do instinctively are rooted in knowledge and understanding of the writer’s craft - Elky Langer, Pittsburgh, USA.
I always look forward to Channie Greenberg's courses. I find them fun, challenging, and thought provoking. Every class has produced new outlooks and insights for me and my stories. I'm hooked on Channie's courses - Miriam Efrat Nei, Giv’atayim, Israel.
My most recent writing course with Channie took me on a journey of self-discovery, which gave me actual strategies for working past blockages in the creative process. Once again, I was reminded of what I like best about Channie's teaching: she helps you uncover things for yourself and gives you the tools to become a better writer - D. Carlyle, Winnipeg, Canada.
I highly recommend Channie’s writing courses. I have had numerous pieces of my writing published and I am grateful to Channie’s instruction for that. Channie’s a “real” author with many published works and a “real” teacher - Linda Levin, Monsey, USA.
Some people can do, and some people can teach. Very rarely do you find someone who can do both. Dr. Greenberg is a member of that rare club and teaches with passion and integrity - Joan Gross, Naharyia, Israel.
