Japan Writers Conference
The 4th Annual Japan Writers Conference
The Fourth Annual Japan Writers Conference will be in Tokyo in 2010 at Nihon University College of Art, Ekoda campus, a short ride from Ikebukuro on the Seibu Ikebukuro line. Mark your calendar now and plan on being there on Sunday, October 10 and Monday, October 11 (a national holiday in Japan, "Sports Day").
As in the past, the Conference will be free and open to all who want to attend. There will be no registration requirements.
See the "call for papers" link at the left for information about making a submission.
Here’s one final heartfelt “thank you” to all the presenters, and to Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts in Kyoto for hosting the Third Japan Writers Conference. Juliet Winters Carpenter, Sally McLaren, and all the student and staff volunteers worked hard and gave us a magic event. It wasn’t reported earlier, but the beverages enjoyed by the diners at “Spoon” were the treat of the College. Some Conference photos are at:
