Overview
Last August, IDEASCOPE successfully hosted <The Beginning of Writers, Book Talk Season 1: After All, My Heart>, supported by the Yeongdeungpo Cultural Foundation in Seoul, South Korea. In this event, four new writers <꿈끄작 kum-Kkeu-Jak (Dream Scribblers)> shared their dreams and spent meaningful time with local residents of Yeongdeungpo. The event received great feedback from participants, who praised it as a valuable and beneficial experience.
Building on this success, we are expanding the horizon to a global book talk concept, allowing participants from anywhere in the world to join online. <The Beginning of Writers, Book Talk Season 2> is themed "Your Daily Life Becomes a Book," showcasing how people from diverse countries and backgrounds can transform their unique stories into books.
This event will feature simultaneous interpretation and live streaming in English, connecting participants worldwide. The program will follow an interview format where interviewers and interviewees freely share their stories. Finally, the CEO of StoryWinner Company, Chang-hee Choi, a leading expert in electronic book publishing in Korea, will deliver a lecture on "How to Publish Your Book on Amazon."
