Soft Publishing My Memoir on Wattpad

It took several years of contemplating, reflecting on the past, and finding happiness in the present for me to finally decide to write my memoir. After much deliberation, I’ve decided to soft-publish my book on Wattpad, sharing it chapter by chapter as I write and reflect on my childhood in the province of Batangas.

I invite you to join me on this journey of reminiscing and celebrating my roots, my family, and my brave and respected loved ones. As I write, I hope to capture the essence of my past experiences, weaving together a heartfelt story that will leave a lasting impression on those who read it.

While the book cover is temporary, I plan to go back to Batangas to take authentic pictures and to dig for pictures in my mother’s trunk. I want to capture the essence of the places, people, and moments that have shaped my life and my memories.

Conceptual Book Cover

Batangas: My Sky and Earth is a series of recollections and reflections of my childhood in the Philippines, written with extensive research and cultural references.

Edited by Lisa Fukushima.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to soft-publish my memoir on Wattpad, as it has provided an excellent feedback loop, giving me the chance to receive comments and encouragement from readers. As I continue to work on my memoir with my editor, Lisa Fukushima, I have deactivated the book on Wattpad during the publishing process with FriesenPress.

Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope that my memoir will resonate with you and inspire you to reflect on your own roots and cherished memories.
