GENESIS EMERGING WRITERS 2024-25 PROGRAMME COHORT

The Jewish Literary Foundation has announced this year’s Genesis Emerging
Writers cohort, with the successful fiction, non-fiction and poetry projects
taking us to Lithuania, the American South, Belfast and beyond....

I feel that the most relevant place for every thinking and feeling woman and man
to be is in the events of the Jewish Literary Foundation.

David Grossman


Book Week has become London’s non-party parliament, distinguished from the other
one by people listening as well as talking. It’s the best.

David Hare


I love Book Week because, whether on stage or in the audience, it makes me feel
smart and challenged at the same time.

Tracy Chevalier


The year always begins for me with Jewish Book Week – here are old friends,
faithful readers, new writers, a great melting pot of ideas, talk, collaboration
and hope.

Howard Jacobson


Book Week is one of my favourite festivals across the world. With a remarkable
line-up of speakers and sessions, it nourishes souls, challenges minds and
quietly, heals hearts.

Elif Shafak


Book Week for me, has taken the form of a laboratory, a testing ground and a
celebration space. The programme is equal parts impressive and fascinating.

Adam Kammerling


I feel that the most relevant place for every thinking and feeling woman and man
to be is in the events of the Jewish Literary Foundation.

Book Week has become London’s non-party parliament, distinguished from the other
one by people listening as well as talking. It’s the best.
