Romance Class

#romanceclass is a community of: -Authors who attended #romanceclass, #romanceclass2016, the steamy reads, YA classes organized by Mina V. Esguerra -Readers of the books by those authors -Readers of English-language romance books by Filipino authors -Actors and artists who are part of the event and publishing process We are a community of Filipino writers and readers who gather together to do what we love. Quoting from Mina V. Esguerra: “The #romanceclass community of authors is a group that came out of the free class I ran in 2013, meant to encourage Filipino readers of chick lit and contemporary romance to start writing and publishing their own stories. “romanceclass” was the hashtag used to informally discuss things with each other over Twitter, and it stuck. That time, 100 people signed up, and 16 authors completed a contemporary romance novella. They’ve since gone on to write more, publish, get publishing deals…and we continue to support each other."
