Fortunately the cover is complete and we will be doing the reveal October 16, 2026. If you want early access and are willing to repost the cover, please reach out to be a part of our Cover Reveal! We especially want to hear from you if you are a bookish person or already have an audience of Filipino readers.
Are you involved with publicity, libraries, school purchases, or any other Filipino book-related work? Let us know in our contact form so we can get ready to send you an advance review copy for your personal assessment!
We know you’ll be glad to learn about and know more about the twenty-five authors in our cohort, who are helping our inaugural volume cast off!
