Attending the Manila International Book Fair has been one of my long-time dreams. Most of my writer and reader friends here from 2013 met at the @manilabookfair at least once or twice already, so I look forward to the day I'll be able to attend this book fair and finally meet you guys.
Who would have thought that ten years later, I'd be able to tell you the news that I'd finally be attending the Manila International Book Fair for a book signing this year? A dream that was so far ahead of me before started to materialize this year, all thanks to Bluer Than Blue and my co-author, Jez @betweenlinesandverses.
Before starting this project, we had a lot of things to consider; we had set goals we only hoped to achieve one day, and we were so giddy at the thought of possibly attending book fairs after publishing Bluer Than Blue. We didn't wait long as the invitation for the 1st Philippine Book Festival came in the mail. We were ecstatic! We met our friends, readers, and colleagues in the writing department. We were able to feel that we had achieved something big. It was truly a dream come true!
Our strong desire to put out a poetry book with our own stories to tell led to this series of events. From planning, writing our manuscripts night and day, looking for the right publisher (shout out to our @centralbooksph & @publishondemand team), getting all the work done in a span of two months, and finally launching the book. It was all worth it!
Now that we are set to have an official book signing at the MIBF, we invite you to join us, and we'll gladly introduce you to the literary manifestation of heartbreaks, Bluer Than Blue. Come meet us on September 15, 2023, at 11 a.m. in the Central Books booth! ❤️
Your presence would definitely mean the world to us!
See you po!
