On the first day, Yu Gwangsu, author of Saenghwal Dokseo, selected this year for the Literature Sharing program's essay category, will lead a writing lecture. This will be followed by a book talk with Kim Geumhee, author of Cheot Yeoreum, Wanju, selected for the fiction category, and singer Yoon March, who performed "Chorok," the original soundtrack (OST) for the audiobook of the work. They will share stories about the novel's writing process and the music production.

On the second day, participants will form teams by literary genre and take part in a "Ten-Line Writing" program with mentor authors. They will also read aloud the work they have written and share their thoughts on one another's work.
