Kotonoha Bunko Unveils Editorial Board on Nola

In an exciting development for aspiring writers, Kotonoha Bunko, the literary label aimed at women from Micro Magazine, has established an editorial board within the creative platform Nola operated by indent. This board serves as a public recruitment board themed under the concept of linking editors with authors and paving pathways to debut opportunities!

The new editorial board on Nola invites submissions for works that blend modern fantasy with various themes. With the slogan "Connect with editors and connect towards your debut," the board is designed to reveal the themes and elements that various companies are looking for. Writers are encouraged to write and submit their works on these themes, creating opportunities to be featured in commercial publications and serials.

Submission Details

The editorial board at Kotonoha Bunko has kicked off its recruitment process with a focus on the theme of "Modern Fantasy × _ _ _". Writers have the freedom to explore a wide range of subthemes such as romance, gourmet, animals, or local color through their creative works.

The aim is to discover stories that unfold in daily life triggered by mysterious events, incorporating elements of time leaps, body swaps, superpowers, magic, and other fantastical aspects seamlessly into everyday scenarios.

Key Points for Writers:

1. Compelling Character Development:
Engaging characters will result in deeper emotional connections, keeping readers intrigued about the narrative’s progression. Lively and well-crafted characters are essential.

2. Coherent Worldbuilding and Themes:
Not only should the character development be robust, but the setting and world must also be intricately woven, reflecting a consistent theme throughout the piece.

3. A Touching Aftertaste:
We are looking for stories that evoke emotions—whether it’s laughter, tears, or inspiration—resulting in a satisfying reading experience similar to watching a captivating film.
