Books for Philippines

One book sale at a time

Let us begin 2023 with the second batch of signed copies for the Philippines. Over the weekend, I gave myself time to sign the pre-ordered books for my family and friends in Manila, Philippines. As a first-time self-published author, promoting my book to be included in the mainstream is really difficult. I contacted twenty local bookstores, but only a handful replied to my email, and only one was interested in hosting me for a book signing inside their bookstore. But I’m not complaining; I have to work hard to reach my personal goal of having my book on the shelves of every bookstore.

When? I have no idea, but I am keeping my faith that one day we could see Revenge Mistaken inside every bookstore. For now, I am reaching out to my network and their networks. One book sale at a time, rather than quitting in the middle of everything.

I hope I can find a bookstore owner in the Philippines who I can ask to host a book launch. As a Filipina author, I hope my Kababayan will be proud to see one of their own published a book in Canada.

Again, my book is a fiction romance, not my own story.

I’m thankful to those who ordered their books. 

Books on hand

I love the change in my life right now. Signing my books for my family and friends in the Philippines is the most rewarding part of being a new author. I am sharing my writing journey to the world. But its different when my book reaches my homeland.
