2024 Imagine Little Tokyo Writing Workshop with Susan Ito and Naomi Hirahara
Award-winning authors Susan Kiyo Ito and Naomi Hirahara presented an interactive writing workshop, both in-person and virtually, on January 13, 2024. Participants learned tips and received advice for writing short stories that can be submitted to the eleventh annual Imagine Little Tokyo short story contest.
Presented by Little Tokyo Historic Society in partnership with Discover Nikkei, the purpose of the Imagine Little Tokyo short story contest is to raise awareness of Little Tokyo through a creative story that takes place in the historic neighborhood. The story must be fictional and set in a current, past, or future Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The short story committee will be looking for stories that capture the spirit and sense of Little Tokyo.
Deadline to submit your fictional story about Little Tokyo is February 29, 2024, midnight Pacific Time. Learn more about submitting your story at the Little Tokyo Historical Society website: https://www.littletokyohs.org
