Publisher of popular local titles to hold an
event for its readers featuring book creators in a one-day-only affair at the
SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia.
VISPRINT, publisher of popular
book titles in the Philippines, is going to hold a one-day-only event for its
readers on Saturday, September 10, 2011. The event, dubbed as VISPRINT WIT:
WRITERS IN TALK will feature book creators—authors, illustrators, and all sorts
of storytellers—engaging readers in dialogues throughout the day.
“We’re really happy to be
doing this. Our readers have been asking for this for a long time now, so we’re
giving them what they want,” says Nida Gatus-Ramirez, Publishing Manager of
Visprint. “Our books creators will be holding workshops, and they’ll be around
the whole day to sign books and chat with their readers.”
Every title from the Visprint
catalogue will be on sale at the event at discounted prices. An upcoming title,
“DUMOT” will be on sale at limited stocks before it hits the bookstores
nationwide. Exclusive previews of upcoming titles (such as the much-awaited
sequel to Carlo Vergara’s ZsaZsa Zaturrna graphic novel, and the 4th
TRESE book) will also be on site.
Bob Ong, the publishing house’s
bestselling author, is running a social experiment called, well, “Bob Ong’s
Sowsyal Eksperiment”. Guests are invited to leave a gift and take one with them.
Any gift, any cost, any size. Bob Ong also ran a contest challenging readers to
match 9 anonymous facts about 9 authors from Visprint... prompting readers to
speculate that the elusive Bob Ong is about to release his 9th book
on the day of the event.
VISPRINT WIT: Writers in Talk
will be held at the SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia, Meeting Rooms 7,
8, and 9, on Saturday, September 10, 2011. For more details, visit http://www.Visprint.net
