Blog postI intend to produce an audio edition of every book I’ve ever published and here’s audiobook #3 — BETTER AT WEDDINGS THAN YOU. This book was the first I’d written for my contemporary romance series in alternating POV, and will be the first audiobook I produce that has two narrators. (If that kind of info is interesting to you haha.) Very excited to have Rachel Coates and Gio Gahol working with me on this one!
As of April 15, we’re still in production, but you can listen to Chapter 2 na -
Blog postSharing with you all my script for the lecture Reading and Teaching Filipino Chick Lit and Contemporary Romance (Like You Care, Like You Mean It, Like You Respect It). This was developed after, let’s admit, several Twitter and Facebook rants […]

Blog postQ from my DM that I’ll eventually get to! I enjoyed the discussion we had (in DM) and will figure out how to make a for-public post about it. Anonymous upon request. Give me some time to compose this! Thank you for the question pic.twitter.com/TvMZnWRPdd
— Mina V. Esguerra (@minavesguerra) February 26, 2021 On February 26, I did a Q&A on Twitter, answering questions about writing and romance for National Arts Month. I received one question as a direct message, and it was a good que -
Blog postI wrote a short story! And right now, it’s only available in the #RomanceClass #TropeTastic2021 anthology. This was put together to raise funds for orgs doing important work right now that we want to support. This was suggested and organized by author Ansela Corsino, and we met as a group (on Zoom) in December 2020 to decide things. Would the stories have something in common? (Yes, a shared setting, as suggested by Carla de Guzman.) It would be easier if we assigned tropes as writing prompts<

Blog postI rarely write a post about a book while I’m still writing it, but I’d like to get this out of the way about my upcoming release before I fully commit to the story and the choices I have to make there.
From a pep talk I wrote for the Filipino Nanowrimo group in 2010:
The first adult romance manuscript I ever tried writing featured a twenty-something main character whose family had recently immigrated to the United States, but without her, because she had “aged out” of the fami -
Blog postTo recap: Yes, we want to see Filipinos on covers too, and it has been this kind of journey.

2: Organizing our first shoot with Migs and Katrice.
3: Crowdfunding and organizing subsequent shoots with Rachel, Jef, Fred, Vanya, Gab, Gio, AJ, Cora, Bibo, Celine.
4: More shoots, with Bibo, Graie, Biel, JP, Alex, Liane, Rap, Sam, Jeanne, Ranjil, Carla, Jef.
What I learned after organizing o -
Blog postOf everything ever posted on this blog, the most popular page/s are the ones that have to do with how I write and publish.
This entire blog has been a document of how I’ve been doing that for ten years now, but I understand that it can be overwhelming if you want to just know how something can work for you. It makes sense to have an update every now and then, so I’ve made this post, updating my process as of 2020’s wild new world.
But know that while it’s easy to start, and ma -
Blog postSharing a thread I tweeted yesterday, which comes at the end of months of being in panels, watching panels, possibly being panel-fatigued. The point of the thread being, when people tell you that your book is a disappointment because it doesn’t have something, tell them about the books by your peers that do have that thing. Also, read your peers.
In fact: When asked for recommendations, have a list ready, and make sure you mention people in your community, writing the same genre, who’ -
Blog postAll the conferences and panels are online now, and I may have done more speaking engagements in 2020 than I ever have in 11 years of being an author. Each time I’m asked to speak, I prepare a presentation about #RomanceClass and my books, and usually I don’t need to update that until the following year.
This year though, every speaking engagement I’ve needed to add something to the “about RomanceClass and my books” because the coping and evolving has been so quick and consistent. Lite
