The present day is sometimes called the "Warring States Period for Writers."

As the demand for digital content has increased, the number of web writers has skyrocketed, and it is now considered one of the easiest professions to start.

And on social media, these comments often cause uproar over what is considered common sense or nonsense...

Why does this happen?

Shikakuimaru Inc. has long been involved in web content and creative production, including operational support for owned media, and often participates in projects from the standpoint of strategy design, editing, and direction, serving on both the receiving and ordering sides.

Based on this experience, we decided to hold a workshop-style event to provide everyone with an opportunity to think about what "high-quality output" means in web content production!

We are currently preparing to provide content that will be useful not only for writers, but also for those placing orders, such as web editors and owned media managers.

We look forward to your participation.
