Join us for a casual virtual meet-up, organized with North American time zones in mind but open to all wordsmiths with a connection to Japan, wherever they are. 

For our May meetup, we’ll talk about “Work and Play.” How do you separate your work from the hobby side of things (writing/translating and reading for pleasure)? Now that you work in this field, do you find it difficult to read translations without criticizing them? How do you navigate wanting to work on personal projects/fun projects while feeling like you need to be producing something for a waiting client or that you could pitch to a publisher?
