My body is currently in recovery mode from our three-day Komiket ~gig this past weekend. Mina, Ron, and myself were the #RomanceClass tinderas at Ayala Market! Market! from Friday to Sunday, and as always, the experience had been educational (and tiring, haha).
#RomanceClass™ will be at KOMIKET next weekend!
Hey, hey, hey~ we are having our first event of the year! If you missed #RomanceClass™ (yes, we are officially trademarked now, hihi!) at any of our events in 2023, here’s your chance to catch us at this January!
We will be tabling at KOMIKET at the Ayala Market! Market! activity area on January 19-21 (Friday-Sunday), just look for one of the booths right in front of the stage—we’ll be there. Do follow us on social media @romanceclassbks on X and @romanceclasbooks on Instagram for more updates.
And of course, if you’re new to us, romanceclassbooks.com is your greatest resource. We’ve got over a hundred romance novels in English, featuring Filipino characters falling in love. <3
Hope to see you next week!
Tara’s Takeaways: What’s my favorite thing about self-publishing?
It’s true. All so true.
The above image was part of a slideshow I created for a Book Talk I was invited to recently. Most of the details are on this Instagram post, but long story short—I spoke about my self-publishing experience to a group of Grade 7-10 students and had fun. Yes, even if I had NO idea what I was going to do when I got the email invitation.
I mean…it’s a group of teenagers, and I mostly write adult romance. Heh.
Manila International Book Fair 2023!
It’s that time of the year again, folks! Manila International Book Fair is this coming Thursday to Sunday (September 14-17), and it’s being held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. Just like last year, #RomanceClass titles will be available at the KOMIKET/Secret HQ booth (Booth #75-76, #83-84) together with a whole lot of amazing graphic novels and komiks by Filipino creators.
Check out this short IG Reel I made to promote my books!
#AprilFeelsDay2023 was a blast!
So #AprilFeelsDay2023 was two Saturdays ago, and it was a fun time, as always, seeing old faces, meeting new friends, celebrating the release of new books, and squealing in kilig hearing scenes from our books being read back to us. This is the SEVENTH #AprilFeelsDay we’ve had (the first one was in 2017! Imagine that!) and the first in-person one since 2020, so it felt like the first time all over again (yes, even if we got to do an in-person #FeelsFest event in October last year).
Here are some highlights from #AprilFeelsDay2023:
