Yael Atzmon
storytelling across mediums
I’m a screenwriter, illustrator, author, performer, andI creative mentor.
I tell my own stories and love working with others to help them telling their stories as well.
Whether it’s a graphic novel, a comedy show, a school lecture, or a screenplay-I’m here to bring your vision to life with humor, depth, and color.
My own stories
ZANAV- children's tales for adults: Five short stories about adolescence, coming out and growing up. This is the first book I wrote and illustrated, it was published in June 2023.
Available in Hebrew.
Despite it all, I won: Sara Atzmon, holocaust survivor and painter, biography. This book I co-authored with my grandmother, published first time in November 2023. Available in Hebrew and in German. Lectures and workshop about the book and the process of documenting a family member life story are available in Hebrew and English.
Talks with guts: a comic cabaret show I co-wrote with theater director Tuval Yaakov, based on our experience dealing with our digestation system health issues and chronic diseases. Premier in Akko theater, August 2025.
No Way I'm Gay- my standup set, which I performed between 2022-2023 with Stand-up rainbow, a queer standup collective that I formed and travel in LGBTQ community across Israel, and keep performing now independently.
Art Exhibitions - I participated in several group exhibitions exploring queer, feminist, and philosophical themes — including shows at the Lake Gallery in Raanana and the Drom HaSharon Regional Council.
My first solo exhibition took place at Drom HaSharon in June 2023.
Storytelling for others
TV Writing - Scriptwriter for season 5 of the acclaimed children’s sitcom “Bad & Biscuit”, and dialogist for “The Magic Shop Secrets”.
Both shows were produced by Ananey/Paramount Studios and aired on Nickelodeon Israel.
Auntie Ann’s Letter- A graphic book I was illustrating about the life story of Auschwitz survivor Ann Terkeiltaub, written by Sarah Moskovitz, her great niece.
3rd generation’s lectures tour - In September 2022, I toured schools in Duisburg, Germany, sharing my grandmother’s Sara Atzmon life and survival story alongside her art exhibitions, collaborating with the Cubus Kunsthalle and the Abtei gymnasium in Duisburg.
Creative Guidance- I offer support and consulting for fellow creators — as a book or script editor, or through general creative guidance to help them shape and publish their story.
Personal Life
I love reading, painting, and dreaming up my next big story.
Some of my fun (and strange) hobbies include foraging herbs, playing volleyball, and learning languages.
Thanks to travel and family, I can work, write and perform in English, have a nice conversation in French and Spanish, and I know a bit of German and Portuguese — but Hebrew is definitely my strongest and automatic art language.
I live in Tel Aviv with my wife Anna, and we love traveling the world together.
Feel free to reach out and see which creative adventure we can explore together!
