“NovelJam” is a live publishing event where people gather in real life to form a team, write a novel from scratch, edit and proofread it, add a cover, and sell it as a “book.”

The first event was held in February 2017, the second event was held in February 2018, the third event was held in November 2018, and the fourth event was held in November 2019. Unfortunately, the 5th event held in 2021 was held online due to the influence of the coronavirus, but the 1st and 4th events were held for 2 days with “authors”, “editors”, and “designers” gathering in real life. The second and third sessions were held in the form of a two-night, three-day training camp, where more detailed pieces were completed and sold.

Three days of full-time writing at three locations. That is NovelJam in 2024! NovelJam. It is a “short-term intensive novel publishing trial event” held in a hackathon style. Participants will be asked to improvise novels, think about them, write them, assemble them, sell them, and compete with each other to see how good they are.

3 years since the 2021 online event. We, the management staff, have continued to explore and experiment with trial and error to find out what NovelJam is and what it should be. As a baton to transcend the past NovelJam and connect it to a new NovelJam, we have created the “NovelJam
We have decided to hold “2024”.

“NovelJam
2024” will be a “real event” where participants will actually gather and create. The event will be held simultaneously in three locations: Edogawa in Tokyo, Agakita in Niigata, and Nago in Okinawa. We will recruit 8 teams in total: 5 teams from Tokyo, 2 teams from Niigata, and 1 team from Okinawa.

Background of crowdfunding
Although NovelJam is a short-term event, a huge amount of time and effort is put into the preparation. As you know, NPO corporations are organizations whose purpose is to carry out non-profit activities. On the other hand, NovelJam has received requests from local people and local governments to hold the event in rural areas, and expectations are rising for its expansion and expansion.

Until now, we have been able to hold this event with the support of companies that support the purpose and participation fees from participants, but in order to further develop NovelJam, we would like to solicit support from a wide range of companies and individuals. I made it.

We want to maintain and further develop this innovative and
fascinating event. However, this requires various expenses such as space, personnel, and judge fees, and the current situation is that it is becoming difficult to continue NovelJam with the efforts of the organization alone.
Therefore, we planned this crowdfunding campaign.

A story only exists if there is a reader. Regardless of companies or individuals, we are looking for support from people who support and enjoy NovelJam’s activities that create stories, the artists and works that are born from these activities, and the process.

We promise to use your support to make NovelJam even more appealing. Thank you for your continued support.
