Private Creative Writing Lessons
We regularly hold literary creative writing workshops in Nagoya. Currently, the group critique-style classes (two classes) are full, but we are offering private lessons. Some slots are already taken, but there are still openings. ○ You’ve written a manuscript for a ZINE or for submissions to open calls and would like someone to give you feedback. ○ You prefer one-on-one lessons rather than group critique sessions. ○ You want the motivation that a deadline provides. If any of the above applies to you, please consider joining 🙏 -

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.

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."
