After the JWWS

You came to the JWWS. Or you heard about it and felt that pull. And either way, you have so much more writing bubbling inside of you.

I'm going to do this, you said. I'm going to write every day. I have it in me.

Then Monday came. And Tuesday. And the week filled up the way weeks do. The notebook stayed closed. The document didn't open. And "someday" started sliding further away again.

For the woman who keeps saying…

Any of these sound familiar?

  • I really should be writing.

  • I have so much to say — but I never sit down to write it.

  • I started something years ago, and never finished.

  • I write when life lets me, which is almost never.

  • I keep thinking, 'someday I'll finally do it.'

  • I want a place where someone is waiting for me to show up and write.

  • I want so much to write. I just wish I had someone to do it with.

  • I want to carry that JWWS energy into every week, not just once a year!

  • So why is this SO HARD?

You don't need a course. You need a steady weekly set time where you actually sit down and write. With company. With guidance. With others waiting for you. With the feeling that you don't have to do this alone.

That's what the Writing Room is. A once a week time to write together and a warm space to share if you want to.

You've been saying "I want to write" for a long time.

The Writing Room is where you finally do.

Who it's for

A room for serious writers — and for women who want to become one.

Whether you've never published a word or you've shipped five books — you'll find your level here.

  • Women who keep meaning to write but can't get traction alone.
  • Women who already write, but want company and a steady weekly anchor.
  • JWWS alumnae who don't want the spark to fade between seminars.
  • Women working on a memoir, essays, fiction, parenting reflections, or Torah-inspired writing.
Why we need each other

Writing is harder work than most people realize.

It's a piece of your heart, a sliver of your mind and a sprinkling of your soul, all woven together with just words to hold them in place.

And that's why we need each other. To keep that fire alive, to keep the words flowing, to keep ourselves from getting stuck in place.

The JWWS Writing Room is where we'll make this happen.

Come write with us
What happens inside

65 minutes. Week after week. This is where your writing finally takes off.

01

A short insight or prompt

I open each session with a brief writing insight or prompt — something to loosen what's stuck and get you started.

02

Get writing ➡ together

We write in silence, on camera, side by side. The room itself becomes the accountability.

03

Optional sharing

Read aloud if you want to. Stay listening if you don't. No pressure, ever.

04

Encouragement & light guidance

Questions, gentle direction, and the kind of warm feedback that keeps you moving.

05

A women-only room

A serious, warm, Torah-rooted space for Jewish women writers.

06

Live on Google Meet

60–75 minutes, once a week. You'll get that week's recording so you can save it — a new one goes out every week, so the rhythm is to show up live whenever you can.

​

The spark was never the problem. Staying focused and just writing was.

For 15 years, JWWS has been the meeting place for Jewish women writers. The Writing Room is what happens between seminars.

The JWWS gave us the spark. Seminars, mentorship, women who got it. And then, you know...life. We get busy with the thousands of other things that compete with our headspace. That inner voice that says "later." "Maybe tomorrow." The Writing Room is the answer to "later." It will be our ongoing, weekly space where your writing will have focus, flow and continued momentum.

“The JWWS Event gave us the SPARK. The Writing Room will keep it burning!”
The honest truth
Because your writing will not happen
only by wishing it.

Stop wishing. Start writing. Together with a room full of women doing the same.

Your host

Tamar Ansh

Director, JWWS — Jerusalem Women's Writers Seminar

I'm Tamar Ansh — author, copywriter, "Challah Queen!", and founder of JWWS, the Jerusalem Women's Writers Seminar. For years I've watched women come alive at our seminars, and go home completely inspired.

Yet I also hear you when you describe that all-too-familar ache: "I want to write more often. I need a way to keep my writing ongoing...I wish I could be at the JWWS forever."

I thought a lot about it. It's true; getting your writing to expand and deepen can only be done by constantly just doing it. And keeping at it is something I've seen so many of us struggle with, year after year. You need your own set time, your personal "place" to keep your writing flowing. A place with guidance, others writing along with you, that unique energy writing with a group creates.

The JWWS Writing Room is that place. A small, warm, weekly room where I'll be waiting on the other side of the screen — with a prompt, with company, and with the ongoing accountability you've all wanted.

Because your writing deserves to be expressed. And I'll be there every week to help you do it.

Warm. Honest. Real.Unmistakably JWWS.

What women say

Words from the women who've written with Tamar.

“There's just nothing like the JWWS anywhere else.”
Miriam Zakon-CooperEditor, ArtScroll / Mesorah Publications
“It was empowerment and motivation wrapped in a special package that every participant could open and use.”
Chaya NewmanJWWS participant
“She gave me the push, motivation, and confidence I needed to move forward. Without her, my memoir would have taken at least two more years.”
Baila PaluchAuthor of Blow My Mind (Israel Bookshop Publications, 2026)
“I went from wishing I could be a writer to writing consistently. Tamar's positive spin on things gave me a massive dose of self-confidence.”
Tamara KleinLondon, England → Australia
“I was feeling stuck with my book. Now my book is really at the finish line — for the first time in years.”
Georgia HymanAuthor of When the Storm Becomes Your Story (Adir Press, 2026)
“So much positive energy in the room, and no sense of competition. Just 'how can I help you.'”
Chumi FriedmanJWWS participant
“Consistently high quality, with such a warm, heimish atmosphere.”
Naomi ElbingerJWWS participant

If you're still reading…

It's because somewhere inside, you already know.

picture it
  • You'll look forward to this hour all week.
  • You'll love what this space does for your writing.
  • The feedback will be warmer and wiser than you let yourself hope for.
  • You'll make real writing friends.
  • You'll show up — not because you have to, but because you can't wait to.

This is the room you've been waiting for.

Membership

One ongoing weekly slot.
Every Monday. Every month.

A small investment in the writing life you've always wanted

For women who write for pay, even one published article every month or two can more than cover the cost of membership.

But the value of The Writing Room is not only in the pieces that get published or paid for.

It is also for the personal pieces, family stories, essays, reflections, and true life vignettes that may never come with a check… but still deserve to be written.

The return is entirely different.

But no less important.

It is the relief of finally writing what you've been holding inside.

The joy of seeing your thoughts take shape. And your writing come alive!

The continuity and the rhythm of showing up, week after week, with support, accountability, and feedback to help you keep going.

Because writing is real work. And it takes a lot to keep at it.

I know how much that matters, because I've needed it myself.

And that's why I created The JWWS Writing Room:

For the writing you may decide to publish, and also for the writing your inner self simply needs you to write.
