[1/6 (Tue) 20:00] In the AI era, should writers become influencers? Work to tackle and how to share content
"With media changing significantly now, will writers be able to survive?"
"What should I do to continue being successful as a writer?"
For those who have such thoughts, the school "Marble", which updates your "writing" career, will hold an online event on Tuesday, January 6, 2026!
Our guest this time is Michihiko Ego-san.
Mr. Ego gained experience at an editorial production company in Tokyo and established Easy Go Co., Ltd. in 2006. He handles all kinds of creative works, including books, catalogs, and web articles.
Starting with the launch of the magazine for writers, "Writer Magazine," Mr. Ego also presides over the online community "Writer Research Institute", where he is in daily contact with the real voices of writers and editors.
The following content that Mr. Ego posted on X is also attracting attention from writers.
Writers should also consider building their own platforms and engaging in influencer-like activities in parallel with their media work. I feel this makes sense both in terms of future revenue and personal growth.
Now that it is difficult to get page views and the industry is undergoing a transformation, what should writers do to continue being successful?
Yuki Ishikawa, who is an instructor at Marble School and also active as a writer and author while focusing on posting on platforms like note and X, will conduct a public interview with Mr. Ego.Yuki Ishikawa will conduct a public interview with Mr. Ego.
