#romanceclass invades Aklatan

#romanceclass met last saturday to put our heads together so we could come up with publishing/promotion ideas for our books. Then we all trudged up to the AKLATAN book fair where we had an actual table alongside publishing veterans. Self-publishers unite!



#romanceclass books' first playdate. They were all different, but that didn't stop them from liking each other.


These are only some of the novellas of our mentor Mina V. Esguerra. When I feel lazy about continuing my second novella, I only have to think of her prolific awesomeness.

This Week's Happenings

1. Paperback copies of Vintage Love



And because a lot of people still liked to feel the paper in their hands while reading, I decided to have VL printed in paperback. The books are cute little things, only 9x6 in size, printed on 104 pages of white paper.  I would've loved for the font size to be bigger (currently it's 9.5, Garamond) but doing so would make it more expensive.

They're ready to be shipped to readers within the Philippines, but if you're abroad and would like to purchase a copy, you can do so thru the ever reliable Amazon.

If you want to buy a copy, and you're in the country, kindly  send me a DM thru my Facebook page.

2. Which bring me to the 2nd "this week's happenings" item--finally made myself an FB page!  I didn't want to spam my non-reading friends on my personal account about #romanceclass updates and my writing endeavors, so I decided to keep that part of my life separate.

3. #romance class has a table at AKLATAN, The First All-Filipino Book Festival, happening later. Our guru Mina V. Esguerra and hubby Michael Co (also an indie-published author) arranged the whole thing, and we're psyched--even with all the last-minute preparations. I'm blessed to be part of a writing group that's grounded on generosity and good vibes. Yesterday, my family and I went to the neighborhood printer to have Vintage Love bookmarks ready as giveaways for the event.

Hope to see you at AKLATAN at the Alphaland Mall, near the Magallanes MRT station.
