Tara Frejas

Tara Frejas is a cloud-walker who needs caffeine to fuel her travels. By day, she works in project management and events, and she writes down her daydreams at night. She began publishing fiction for public consumption in 2004, posting her pieces on various online channels like fan forums and Blogspot, eventually exploring other avenues like Livejournal, Soomp!, Tumblr, and most recently, Wattpad.

Aside from her obvious love affair with words and persistent muses, Tara is very passionate about being caffeinated, musical theatre, certain genres of music, dancing, dogs, good food, and romancing Norae, her ukelele. She owns a 6-month-old male bunny named Max who sometimes tries to nibble on her writing notes.

Fun fact: She's a Piscean. Go figure.

I'm honestly just a hopeless romantic who loves to write and puts my book/s out there for the world to see!

My novels have 3 things: Filipino representation, low-conflict plots (because life is enough to make us anxious), and a writing style that’s equal parts humor and heart.

Josue Mapagdalita

Josue Mapagdalita (b. 1996) is a Filipino writer. He is the author of “Mula sa Kilometer Zero” (“From the Kilometer Zero”), a collection of 40 Filipino flash fiction set in Metro Manila, Philippines. His second book, “Still Here”, a two-in-one book of journal and prose poetry for mental health, is set to be published in 2024.

Josue’s life challenges shaped his literature. Being a corporate slave prevented him from writing long forms and redirected him to writing flash fiction and prose poetry instead, both of which, according to his fellow writers, he had “mastered”. Growing up in poverty and witnessing firsthand the plight of the Filipino masses made him associate himself to literary realism; even in his romantic fiction, he subtly depicts

H. Bentham

H. Bentham lives in the Philippines, somewhere North, but don’t ever ask him for any directions. He writes stories where the gays will always get their HEA, collects books that he promises to read (eventually), and brings tarot cards everywhere because he has absolutely no sense of the future.

Despite now living with two energetic cats, he prefers the unhurried and easy-going life of turtles. That’s probably why his reading and writing pace is perpetually set to low speed.

He is @bentchbites everywhere on the internet.
