A talk and a workshop in Davao [post-event]
On May 31, we did a talk on writing and publishing, and a workshop on writing contemporary YA, NA, and romance in Davao City. Grateful to everyone who attended, were so generous with their attention, and then shared (some shyly) their work that I tell you could be books we’d be reading and loving! I’d one-click!
We also got to talk about the money you can expect from publishing, which is always a refreshing question to get, to which there are only sobering responses. But that opens up discussions for what can be better, and where there’s hope. (Spoiler: Hope is in digital.)
There was time for food and chika before I got on my flight back and the idea came up that when I come back to Davao (when talaga not if) later this year romanceclassbooks should be launching a book BY Davao writers. I said yes we can do that, who’s ready?
#RomanceClassDavao (a project with Bookbed) starts today (June 16) with 11 authors participating. 
Can’t wait for everyone’s stories! #RomanceClass
