Join us on Saturday, 13th April, at the Tokyo Women’s Plaza to hear some first-hand experiences of what a creative-writing course can offer - the good, the bad and the challenging, with Annie Rollins, MFA.

Annie, one of our SCBWI Japan members, recently graduated from the Hamline University with an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults. She will talk about the program and discuss what it offers, the good, the bad and the challenging, and how it has helped her in her writing journey.

Other members from the group will add their experiences of taking in-person/ online, long and short-term courses for writers and illustrators and everything in-between.

If you’re thinking of ‘levelling-up’ your kid lit skills, this session will help you learn about the range of opportunities available and decide where best to invest your time and money. 

Please note this is an in-person event.

Cost:

Members: 1,000 JPY

Non-members: 1,200 JPY


Monies will be collected at the door.
