Literary Creative Writing — One-on-One Lessons is a ZINE event held at Lbio bookstore, Kita Ward, Nagoya on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 (Author event).
This literary creative writing workshop, popular since 2025, continues its critique-style classes, and starting in May we began 1‑DAY, 45-minute private lessons. The July dates have been decided 🙌
We've received lovely feedback from students who've used the lessons so far 🥰
The location is the bookstore LBIO in Kita Ward, Nagoya, where we are always grateful for their support.
Sessions are scheduled for July 7 and July 18.
✅ I wrote something — is this okay?
✅ I prefer a private lesson rather than the group critique
✅ I want quick advice in a short time
✅ I want to use it as motivation for a deadline
✅ I want consultation about submissions, zine production, or publishing
These are the kind of people this is for.
Any literary genre is welcome 💡
Repeat participants who previously joined the workshop are also very welcome 💡
💎 You do not need to submit your manuscript in advance, but if your manuscript is more than 10 sheets of genkō yōshi (manuscript paper), we will need time for pre-reading, so please consult in advance. (Pre-reading is available for an additional fee.)
