Sales Start for 'Etcetera', an Anthology Hosted by Pen-saki no Kakera!

What if writers writing on the web were free to create a single book—?
Born from that curiosity is the literary anthology 'Pen-saki no Kakera: Etcetera' by the creative circle 'Pen-saki no Kakera' (Fragments of a Pen Nib).

We live in an era where stories are born from the web.
Novel posting sites, social media, blogs, and note.
Many writers are spinning words on the other side of the screen. However, at the same time, anyone who writes on the web must have thought at least once:

'What would happen if my writing became a book?'
'What if it were compiled into a single volume alongside the works of various other writers?'

This anthology was born from that creative curiosity.

Novels. Essays. Poetry. Tanka. Even manga and illustrations.
No genre restrictions.

It is a completely free-form anthology that anyone can participate in as long as they have the desire to write.

That is precisely why this volume has gathered such a truly diverse range of works.
Stories that stay in your heart. Writing that makes you laugh before you know it.
Poetry that quietly leaves a lingering impression.
The styles and themes are all different.

Yet, each one meets in this book as a single 'fragment of words'.

This is not a book created by a single author.

It is a collaborative work born from many writers gathering and bringing their own words together.

When words born in the sea of the web are lined up as a single book—there is a chemical reaction that cannot be created by one person alone.
