The "I am also a Writer" program was conducted over 20 sessions from April to August, targeting 40 general citizens and lifelong education instructors. It focused on basic understanding of e-books, which are emerging as a new trend in the publishing industry, as well as manuscript writing and writing strategies.

Among the participants, 12 students compiled their life knowledge and experiences into stories and published e-books.

The books can be searched for and purchased through portal sites.

One student who wrote about life after returning to farming and rural areas said, "While attending the class, I worried whether I could really write a book, but with the instructor's guidance and the support of the county, I was able to publish an e-book, which is the most rewarding thing this year." He added, "I hope our family's rural life story in Geochang, which has become our second hometown, will help those preparing for and dreaming of returning to farming."

Since last year, Geochang-gun has supported the publication of 24 books through the "I am also a Writer" course and continues to operate life-stage writing programs to cultivate humanities literacy and strengthen individual capabilities.
