DILIM Press teammates have been fortunate to have a chance to work collaboratively with the Rizal Center Balikbayan Book Club in Chicago and would like to share questions they and other readers have for authors of Filipino fiction.
If you’re a writer, creator, comic illustrator, or author of any kind, feel free to answer these questions and share this information with your other Pinoy author friends!
Tag the Rizal Center and #balikbayanbookclub in your answer!
- What writings have inspired your stories or poems?
2. What themes do you tend to focus on as writers/readers of Filipino & diaspora fiction?
3. How would you say Filipino diaspora speculative fiction is similar and different to other diaspora speculative fiction, such as African, Middle Eastern, or Latino/a/x?
4. How does your Filipino/a/x heritage impact your artistic practice?
5. What does your process look like in terms of developing a story?
