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.)
💎 Private lessons take place during the shared bookstore's opening hours, so there will be people coming and going. Please be aware.
💎 Payment by cash or PayPay on the day.

10 Things People Involved with Books Should Consider in a World Where 90% Don’t Read Many Books
19:00–20:30Isn't today's publishing world becoming a kind of “print macho”? Reading only in printed characters—difficult words and kanji—is not the only form of reading. By expanding ways of reading beyond the conventional frame of “reading”—comics, graphic works, audiobooks, etc.—we can lower the barriers to reading and increase readership. We will hold a talk and signing event to celebrate the publication of publishing journalist Kazufumi Iida's latest book, "An Introduction to 'Yuru Reading' for 90% of Japanese."16 participants -

Children Deprived of the Right to Dream — Talk Event Commemorating the Publication of 'Children on Provisional Release: Targets of Japan First'
18:30–20:00Journalist Shinichi Ikeo, an editorial board member of the Chunichi Shimbun (Tokyo bureau), will be invited to commemorate the publication of his latest book, 'Children on Provisional Release: Targets of Japan First'.
