A Message from Yasunobu Tanaka

A writer is someone who writes articles on a theme and gets paid for it. However, many people tend to think, "I want to write viral articles," or "I want to write copy that resonates with the target audience." Those who try to learn such "techniques" are mistaken from the start. What a writer needs is not a target audience demographic or a reader persona.

What is necessary for the act of writing is simply "writing text that you yourself want to read" and "researching for that purpose." If you continue to do this, as a result, phenomena such as "your name and face become known," "you publish books," and "you earn money" will occur.

Furthermore, many people worry that AI will take away writers' jobs. In a sense, they are right. However, if you can become a writer who operates under your own name and face, such worries are unnecessary. This course will teach you the mindset and methods to become such a person.

First, please come to our free online introductory session. We would be grateful if you would refer to the voices of last year's participants.
