SUMMARY:Tell Your Sephardi-Mizrahi Story
DESCRIPTION:Tell Your Sephardi-Mizrahi Story\n \nWith award winning author Gila Green \nOn Thursdays \n27 May- 24 June at 11:00AM EDT \n5 online sessions  \nRegistration required for the full course \nHave you always wanted to write your life story? Gila Green’s new Middle Eastern flavored Autofiction Workshop explores a writing form that pushes beyond memoir and borrows fiction techniques. Inventing your own dialogue and creating details can often free you from the need to stick to the facts\, opening the door to a deeper story with emotional truth at its center. This zoom course includes a weekly lesson and in-class exercise. Instructor feedback will be provided on weekly writing assignments (up to 1\,000 words). Short readings will feature Middle Eastern writers that include authors such as: Sarah Abrevaya Stein\, Rachel Shabi\, and Ariel Sabar. The workshop is open to women and men of all writing levels.\nSpecial bonus for this session: 4\,500 manuscript editing at the end of the course included. \nThe workshop is open to women and men of all writing levels. \nAbout Gila Green:\nGila Green’s novels feature characters of Sephardi\, Yemenite\, and mixed Middle Eastern heritage because she couldn’t find any Jewish stories that reflected her experience growing up and decided to write them herself. Her novel-in-stories White Zion explores one Yemenite family’s journey from Sanaa to Jerusalem to Canada. In Passport Control\, heroine Miriam Gil struggles to understand her Yemenite father’s past against a trove of family secrets. Gila is an author\, a creative writing teacher\, an EFL college lecturer\, an editor\, and a mother of five. When she’s not exploring the Middle East in her novels\, she migrates to South Africa in her continuing environmental young adult series that takes place in Kruger National Park. In addition to her four published novels\, her short works have been featured in dozens of publications including: Sephardic Horizons\, Jewish Fiction\, Jewish Literary Journal\, Fiction Magazine\, Akashic Books\, The Fiddlehead\, and others. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
