HOT OFF THE PRESS Literary Readings in San Francisco, CA On October 7, 8, 2017

I'll be moderating the HOT OFF THE PRESS literary readings on Saturday October 7 and Sunday October 8, 2017 as part of the Fourth Filipino American International Book Festival in San Francisco, California.

These literary readings showcase new publications by Filipino and Filipino American authors. Past Readings have included authors such as Aimee Suzara, Barbara Jane Reyes, Lisa Suguitan Melnich, Luis Francia, Eileen Tabios, Tony Robles, Rafe Bartholomew, Karen Llagas, and many others. Here are pictures of the authors in the 2015 HOT OFF THE PRESS literary Reading.

I'll be posting the lineup of this year's readers in another post.

If you are Filipino or Filipino American and have a recently published book and wish to participate in the Readings, please contact me directly at palh@aol.com.
