Join me, DC Frost, EP Tuazon, and Monica Fernandez as we talk about writing & publishing at Red Hen Press and beyond--looking at: What surprised us most about the publishing process when we first entered it? How did we find our paths to publication? What advice would we give writers who are trying to determine whether to pursue literary agents, independent presses, or another route? What makes a manuscript ready to submit? How do we navigate editorial feedback? And more! Saturday Nov 7th at 11:00AM at the Linda Vista Library--1281 Bryant St., Pasadena, CA 91103 Sign-ups are suggested (but not required) by calling 626-744-7278 or by stopping by the Linda Vista Library in person.

Long Beach, what a night. 🌙 I read at @ambitiousales on their big covered back patio, on mahjong night, so the evening came with a soundtrack: a jet roaring overhead, a car alarm going off (twice), and nine-plus tables of spirited mahjong just to my right. Somehow it all made the night more fun. 🀄️ Thank you so much to @miaalvar, who asked the kind of questions that open a book right up (we laughed our way through); to Jhoanna and @belcantobooks for hosting us; to @ambitiousales for the room and the Ube beer (it is Filipino American History Month); and to the friends and readers who gathered for it. Always a joy to make new ones. 💛 (And yes, I made a quick pilgrimage to the Ferris Bueller house beforehand. When in Long Beach.) 🎬

Sharing my first round of pics from Liwanag Filipino Lit Fest DC last weekend! What an incredibly magical, nourishing day of community and celebration!

Stay tuned for more official thank you's, photos and posts about some of our sponsors and partners, and post-festival wrap us soon. In the meantime, we are so grateful to our community. Maraming salamat! –Christine ❤️🇵🇭📚 #LiwanagLitFestDC #ReadingIsMagical #LoyaltyBookstkores

🇵🇭📚 LIWANAG FILIPINO LIT FEST DC | 📍 Washington, DC Sunday was the second @liwanaglitfestdc, and it hit me right in the culture-and-community feels. 🥰💖 The festival stretched between @loyaltybooks and Petworth Library, with author panels, storytime, a keynote conversation, food, books, and Filipino-made goodies everywhere. Since I was already there, I even signed up for a @dcpubliclibrary card! We love our libraries. My Libby account is about to go nuts. I bounced between conversations about world-building, identity, family, memory, culture, and telling Filipino stories from so many different perspectives. I especially loved seeing a room FULL of people listening to Filipino authors talk about their work. There was something incredible about being surrounded by people celebrating stories connected to your own heritage. 🇵🇭📖 Naturally, I shopped. My haul from Loyalty Books was impressive. 😂 I came home with SO MANY stickers (of COURSE), a Filipino fan, gorgeous gold-star Filipino earrings (thanks, @pinwheelclay!), and a program full of author signatures. My maximalist heart was very happy. AND THE FOOD. Purple Patch absolutely understood the assignment. I had a pork tocino rice bowl and an ube cinnamon doughnut because cultural enrichment requires snacks. 💜🍩 I’ve been meaning to try this restaurant and it was a GREAT amuse-bouche before my actual visit (soon!). My favorite part of the day was the community vibe. I arrived alone and left with TWO new local friends, and we already have plans to hang out again soon. 🥹 That is the kind of event magic I love. I’m so grateful to have spent the day surrounded by Filipino books, food, art, stories, and people. Celebrating our culture while discovering new authors and making new connections? More of this, please. ✨ And while you’re at it, GO SEE FORGOTTEN ISLAND! 🏝️🇵🇭 #ChristaLoves #LiwanagLitFestDC #FilipinoAmerican #DCEvents #SupportLocal Colorful c_hristaloves recap graphic for Liwanag Filipino Lit Fest DC.

A Sunday full of Filipino stories 🇵🇭📚✨ This week’s #mondayswithmaggie took me to @liwanaglitfestdc for an afternoon celebrating Filipino authors, books, creativity, and community in DC. I loved getting to hear directly from writers during Sari-Sari Stories: Genre Fiction Through a Filipino Lens and What We Carry: Storytelling Filipino Roots and Routes; conversations about identity, culture, roots, belonging, and the stories we carry with us. A special thank you to all of the authors who shared their voices and work, including some of the wonderful writers featured in this Reel: Victor Manibo, Mia P. Manansala, Cinelle Barnes, and E.P. Tuazon. 📚💛 And thank you to @liwanaglitfestdc, @loyaltybooks, @dcpubliclibrary, and everyone who helped bring the festival together. It was also pretty special seeing a little @pinwheelclay there too. 🥹🇵🇭 And Filipino American History Month continues next Sunday… The rescheduled UMPUKAN: A Fil-Am History Month Celebration is happening at @metrobardc ! Come eat, shop, listen, dance, and gather with us, @samasamaart x @kam.and.46 ✨ 🇵🇭 Sunday, Oct. 11 ⏰ 12–5 PM 📍 metrobar DC 🎟️ Free + all ages See you next Sunday! 💛 #liwanaglitfestdc #filipinoamericanhistorymonth #fahm #fahm2026
