This 2 -session, free online workshop with writer and English literature professor Aaron Kreuter is designed for writers of all levels of experience who are interested in writing from an anti- or non-Zionist worldview. Split over two weeks, the workshops will incorporate reading and discussion of Jewish antizionist writing, writing prompts and exercises, and a generative writing session, where participants will have time to write fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, as well as time to share their work with the group.

As part of the workshops, Aaron will also discuss his experiences writing from an anticolonial and antizionist lens. In particular, he will pay close attention to his two latest books — Rubble Children, a collection of short fiction set around a Reform Synagogue in Toronto, and Lake Burntshore, a novel set at a Jewish sleepover camp — and how he integrates antizionist politics, themes, and narratives into the work.

This is a great opportunity to work on your writing, meet other antizionist writers, and engage with some radical literature!
