At the Manila International Book Fair

We’re excited that Angelica’s Daughters is making an appearance at the 31st Manila International Book Fair! The fair is taking place as I type, and it runs through September 19th. The excellent blogger over at Bookmarked posted The Rough Guide to the 31st Manila International Book Fair, and she singles out our publisher, Anvil, describing their booth as, “…one of the booths I spend the most time in. Good buys (especially the latest titles), multiple bargain bins, cozy reading areas, and it’s always a great spot to hobnob with the literati!” Here’s a photo from the first day (via Bookmarked):

I wonder if one of the folks she hobnobbed with was Angelica’s Daughters co-author, Nadine Sarreal? Nadine was at the Anvil booth yesterday, where she signed 20 books or so, and spent some time chatting with folks about the novel. She reports that Angelica’s Daughters will sell for P295, but is discounted 20% at the fair. I think the P295 price point is genius: it makes our novel easily accessible, especially to starving students!

On Saturday, Nadine and Susan Evangelista (our wonderful co-author from Palawan) will be interviewed by Ivy Mendoza. Anvil plans to videotape it, so with a little luck we’ll be able to post it here.

Thanks for reading! Check back soon!
