BOOK ME: Manuscript Editing & Literary Consulting, Events, Lectures & Writing Workshops
Book Editing & Literary Consulting
Editing, feedback and professional consultation for authors and their manuscripts. You can check out some of the books and magazines I have edited over the years.
My work with authors begins with a close reading of the manuscript and a detailed editorial assessment. Over the years, I have also read and evaluated Hebrew manuscripts for established German publishing houses.
From there, I can develop a clear working plan for the book, followed by a deeper editorial process, chapter by chapter. This can include detailed feedback, structural work, line editing, and regular Zoom meetings to discuss the manuscript and its development.
My support can continue through the later stages of the process: preparing the manuscript for publication, thinking about the right publishing strategy, identifying suitable publishers, and accompanying the book as it moves towards publication.
I am open to editorial projects in Hebrew, English and German, depending on the manuscript and the needs of the author.
Readings, Lectures & Events
I am available for literary readings, lectures, conversations, panel discussions, festivals and cultural events. My work moves between poetry, fiction, performance and cultural research, and I can adapt each event to its audience and context.
Readings & Performances
I read from my poetry and fiction in Hebrew, English and German, with translations when needed. My readings can be presented as a solo reading, as part of a festival or literary evening, or together with other writers and artists.
I have participated in literary festivals and cultural events in Germany, Israel, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Turkey and elsewhere, including the Meridian Czernowitz International Poetry Festival, Miss Read Festival Berlin, Deutsch-Israelische Literaturtage, L’CHAIM – Auf ein Wort Festival, Radical Jewish Festival at the Maxim Gorki Theater, and the Internationales Literaturfestival Basel.
Lectures & Conversations
My lectures connect literature with questions of identity, migration, memory, language and culture. Possible topics include:
Arab-Jewish Diaspora between Baghdad and Berlin — identity, memory and belonging between the Middle East and Europe.
Mizrahi Literature and Culture — the emergence of Mizrahi voices and their place in Israeli cultural history.
Writing Between Languages — migration, translation and the experience of writing between Hebrew, German and English.
Jewish Diversity Between East and West — Jewish identities beyond the dominant European narrative.
Literature, Migration and Memory — how personal and collective memories shape literary writing.
Poetry as a Political and Personal Practice — poetry, activism and the possibility of creating new perspectives through language.
I also welcome invitations to develop new lectures and conversations around my books, research and areas of interest, according to the needs of the institution or event.
Events & Festivals
I am available for festivals, museums, universities, cultural institutions, literary organisations and community events — whether for a reading, lecture, workshop, panel discussion, conversation or a combination of formats.
To invite me for an event, lecture or reading, please get in touch.
Writing Workshops & Masterclasses
I offer creative writing workshops and masterclasses for schools, universities, cultural institutions, festivals and groups. My workshops bring together writing, storytelling, identity, memory and questions of migration and belonging.
Diasporic Poetry in the Jewish Context
This year, I am teaching a creative writing masterclass at the Institut für Neue Soziale Plastik in Kreuzberg, Berlin, exploring the relationship between diaspora, transnational identity and artistic expression.
The workshop asks how writing can help us understand identities that exist between places, languages and cultures. We look at how personal and collective histories shape the stories we tell, and how writing can challenge dominant narratives and create more complex ideas of belonging.
The masterclass combines discussion, reading, writing exercises and the development of individual creative projects. The first part focuses on ideas and contexts: diaspora, hybridity, cultural memory, migration and identity. The second part moves into the participants' own writing projects, with exercises and individual feedback. The workshop concludes with the presentation and discussion of the work developed during the course.
The masterclass is conducted in English, while participants can write in English, German or Hebrew.
My Approach
My workshops are not only about learning how to write. They are spaces for developing a personal voice and discovering new ways of telling a story.
Depending on the group and the project, we can work with poetry, fiction, personal writing, memoir, migrant writing, multilingual writing and experimental forms. I combine close reading and discussion with practical writing exercises and individual feedback.
I am also open to developing new workshops and masterclasses around a specific theme, group or institution.
