We’re celebrating our love for romance books on April 17 and it is open to #romanceclass readers, authors, all people with feelings!
#AprilFEELSDay FAQs
What’s happening on April 17?
An afternoon of romance, books, performances, and meeting new people. See photo above for what we’ve got planned. You can come over and:
- Buy new romance books by Filipino authors
- Meet fellow romance readers
- Learn more about how we publish our romance books
- Experience performances from romance novels, performed by theater actors we love
- Hear and read poetry about love and heartbreak
- Eat waffles. It’s all good!
Is this for #romanceclass authors or participants only?
Everyone is welcome. The #romanceclass author and reader community is organizing this, but we’re bringing our friends and loved ones. Anyone who’s into romance and feelings should come along. 🙂
Is there an entrance fee?
Yes, P200 upon registration. This includes snacks and a free book – while stocks last. Come early!
Where is Pegi Waffles in San Juan?
It’s along P. Guevarra Street, near Wilson St. This is the link to the Google Map. It’s on a Sunday, so we hope the traffic will be kind to us.
Will there be parking spots there?
There are a few spots at Pegi Waffles, and the shopping center across the street. But these will probably fill up quickly.
[Adding more to this as questions are sent. Thank you!]
