  • Fun merch! Aside from books, there will be tables selling shirts, bags, stickers, and other cool stuff. Make sure to bring extra pocket money!
  • Live reading! Of course this is a must. Watch out for a new lineup of kilig scenes from #romanceclass books to be performed by our live readers. (Hint! Hint! Live reading will start at around 4:30PM.)
  • Donate a book, get an eBook! We’re working in partnership with Ayala’s Little Free Library, and they are encouraging us to donate old books (any genre, any type will do as long as they’re still decent enough to read). As our way of thanking you, we’re offering free #romanceclass eBooks in exchange for your donations. You may choose from the bundle below:

#HeistClub: The Launch

No Comments

If you thought the Filipino indie writing community is all about the romance, think again. This coming June 25, sixteen new crime stories penned by Filipino authors will be officially launched as book bundles at The Study by Enderun at the 4th Floor of The Podium, Ortigas Center. Ten of these sixteen will also be releasing standalones in digital and print format!

Exciting, right? Full story below:

In November 2015, author and indie publisher Mina V. Esguerra facilitated an online workshop organized by Bronze Age Media and sponsored by Buqo and Enderun’s The Study.

The challenge for the Filipino author: Write tales of dark pathways and mysterious psyches, misdemeanor and trouble, dread and doubt. The story should be a Case # 1 (there’s a hint of a sequel or better yet, a series), set in the Philippines, and written in English.

#HeistClub came alive with writer-participants being guided by invaluable tips and lessons from mentors Jennifer Hillier (author of Creep and Freak), F.H. Batacan (author of Smaller and Smaller Circles), forensic anthropologist R.J. Taduran, life/non-life insurance executive Kevin Uy, Juliet Grames of Soho Press, and Atty. Andrea Pasion-Flores of Jacaranda Literary Agency.

At the end of the month-long workshop, sixteen crime stories were produced. They were released in three ebook bundles on Buqo in late January this year.

First of all, let me tell you this. I use a lot of social media every day, and whenever I get exhausted and completely turned off by election-related hostility, the #AprilFeelsDay tag on Instagram has now become my refuge. Why? Because…

*dreamy sigh*

Isn’t it so beautiful? Yeah, let’s take a good, long moment to scan through those photos and videos once again, because God knows I haven’t had enough of them yet. I’m also stalling because I don’t know where to begin with this recap, if it could even be called such.

If you’ve missed it by the way, here are #AprilFeelsDay recaps from Mina, Chi, April, Ana, Carla, Ron, and Krissy.
