The JWWSWriting Roomwith Tamar Ansh
For women who want the support, structure, and weekly push to finally write with focus and consistency. Every. Single. Week.
“The JWWS Event gave us the SPARK. The Writing Room will keep it burning!”
Director
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.
And those annoying thoughts keep buzzing around your head, circling back again and again:
I want so much to write. I wish I had someone to do it with.
I just can't do this alone.
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 another course. You need a steady weekly hour 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. Once a week, on Google Meet, for 60–75 minutes. A short insight, time to write together, and warm space to share if you want to.
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.
You've been saying "I want to write" for a long time.
The Writing Room is where you finally do.
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.
- No lectures.
- No homework.
- No replays to fall behind on.
- No 1-on-1 coaching or manuscript editing.
One hour. Every week. This is where your writing finally happens.
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.
Get writing ➡ together
We write in silence, on camera, side by side. The room itself becomes the accountability.
Optional sharing
Read aloud if you want to. Stay listening if you don't. No pressure, ever.
Encouragement & light guidance
Questions, gentle direction, and the kind of warm feedback that keeps you moving.
A women-only room
A serious, warm, Torah-rooted space for Jewish women writers.
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.
JWWS gave us the spark. Seminars, mentorship, women who got it. And then, you know...life. The to-do list, the laundry, the children, the errands, 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 steady, weekly space where your writing will have focus, flow and continued momentum. You do not have to do this alone anymore!
Because your writing
will not happen
only by wishing it.
Everything that's included.
Come on time. Come prepared.
Bring a coffee or tea — because you're going to write, write, write.
A weekly live writing room (60–75 minutes, Google Meet).
A short writing insight or prompt each session.
Time to actually write — protected, focused, witnessed.
Optional sharing, gentle feedback, and real encouragement.
Each week's recording sent to you to save (a new one goes out weekly).
A community of Jewish women writers who are showing up too.
A steady rhythm that turns 'someday' into this week.
No lectures. No presentations. Just real writing, together.
A short insight to open, time to write together, and gentle feedback from a room of women who take their writing seriously. It's not 1-on-1 coaching or manuscript editing — and it isn't trying to be. It's something rarer: the steady weekly place where the writing actually happens.
Read this list. If it sounds like you, the room was built for you.
- You've been carrying writing around in your heart for years.
- You want structure without a heavy course commitment.
- You want to be in a room of women who take their writing seriously.
- You're done waiting for the perfect moment.
- You want a warm, Torah-rooted creative home for your writing.
Small shifts. Positive outcomes.
One hour. Every week. Months of momentum.
- 01You stop saying 'I should be writing.'
- 02You start saying 'I wrote this week.'
- 03You won't be doing it alone.
- 04You start hearing your own voice.
- 05You're ready. No pushing it off.
- 06You're writing. Every week. All the time. And the flow opens.
“Somewhere between the third week and the fourth, Chani — who'd logged on the first time not knowing a single name on the screen — forgot she'd ever been alone with the page.”
Tamar Ansh
I'm Tamar Ansh — author, editor, and founder of JWWS, the Jerusalem Women's Writers Seminar. For years I've watched women come alive at our seminars, then walk away with that same familiar ache: "I want to keep going. I just need somewhere to keep going to."
The 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 steady push you've been wanting.
Because your story deserves to be told — and I'll be there every week to help you tell it.
Warm. Honest. Real.Unmistakably JWWS.
Words from the women who've written with Tamar.
“There's just nothing like the JWWS anywhere else.”
“It was empowerment and motivation wrapped in a special package that every participant could open and use.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I was feeling stuck with my book. Now my book is really at the finish line — for the first time in years.”
“So much positive energy in the room, and no sense of competition. Just 'how can I help you.'”
“Consistently high quality, with such a warm, heimish atmosphere.”
“The inspiration and advice helped take my writing to a new level.”
It's because somewhere inside, you already know.

- You'll catch yourself counting the minutes until we're together again.
- You'll love what this space does for your writing.
