Dawn Lanuza (author of The Boyfriend Backtrack): You can write about worlds you wish were real, scenarios you wished you lived, to work out things that you can’t work out alone. I love talking about places I love and food that I crave.

I love getting kilig when you’re writing kilig scenes. I love being able to put to paper something that’s been running around in my own head.

What’s not to love? My whole process of writing a story usually starts with ‘what do I want to read?’, and answering that question alone leads you to an exciting minefield of possibilities. Carla de Guzman (author of If The Dress Fits): And we try to make books that cover the topics that matter to us. My editors, cover design team, all the way to the readers… I am constantly around people who understand why the books matter. I feel lucky that I’m able to do this, and at each stage work with people who get it. Esguerra (author of What Kind of Day):Īt first I thought it would be fun to write what I love to read… but now it’s more than that. What do you love about writing romance? Mina V.
