Book Club

The Book Club is a great chance for  emerging writers to access great books and a community of other writers with whom to share the experience of reading and discussion. We have a selection of books to share with book club chapters, which generally are comprised of 5-10 readers.  We provide the books and if a chapter prefers, we also share discussion questions and can even have a moderator to help facilitate discussion.  A reading group chapter can be part of a workshop, or simply from a group of interested readers.

We host monthly book club chapters in Ramallah and Gaza.  Look for our upcoming discussion dates under Upcoming Events on the left panel or email us: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Book clubs would not be possible without the generous donations of publishers and writers and the support of the British Council.
