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 🙏

Hello. I am a freelance writer based in Ogaki, Gifu Prefecture, and I run a bookstore on an irregular basis.

I also assist with creating works. Thank you.

●Title "Write and Light the Signal Fire! — Four Months Making and Selling an Essay Book" A6 (bunko) size 146 pages ●About this work I loved writing but lacked confidence, and I was afraid to put a price on "just my own writing." I made an essay book and sold it. Through experiences like people who discovered me on SNS and at ZINE festivals buying it, and having bookstores carry it, I slowly gained confidence. I wrote candidly about realizing, "I was lonely," and about coming to feel, "I'm not alone." I hope this book can, in a grubby and awkward way, spark the passion of those who lack confidence but secretly want to try something, or of those who tend to hold back but actually have something burning or a strong commitment inside them.
