Tara Frejas
Filipino author Tara Frejas has been writing and self-publishing romance books since 2015, and now has a total of 16 books (including collaboration work) in her backlist. An active member of the #RomanceClass creative team, she has helped the community maintain their visibility on social media and has also organized in-person and online events with them.
From 2020 to 2022, she has written, directed, and produced a number of online events for the community, including #RCReadathon2020 and Kilig Cafe, which featured conversations about various topics related to romance writing and publishing in talk show format. She also directed a mini web series called Hello, Ever After, which explored the ways we found comfort, kilig, and hope in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, starring Filipino actors as characters from previously published #RomanceClass books.
In 2024, she became part of the translation team for Tepai Pascual’s Duty Ka Ba? (Vol. 1), published and distributed by 19th Avenida Publishing House. She also shared valuable knowledge about writing and developing romance work as a panelist for the 21st Ateneo National Writers Workshop in October 2024.
In the same year, Komiket’s romance fiction imprint Blush Books acquired Tara’s book Scandalized for its Philippine print edition, and as of this writing, she is working with BoldMP in Los Angeles for its screen adaptation.
