    Literary Creative Writing — One-on-One Lessons

    Author event
    10:00–12:00
    Lbio bookstore, Kita Ward, Nagoya Chubu
    URL
    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. 🖋️ For inquiries and applications, please DM Inukai on Instagram or email [email protected] with your preferred date and the genre of your manuscript.

    Private Creative Writing Lessons

    Author event
    10:00–13:00
    Lbio Bookstore, Kita Ward, Nagoya Chubu
    URL
    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 🙏
