I am a freelance writer and book editor born, raised, and based in Metro Manila, Philippines.
I cover the following topics for both my publications and various print and online outlets:
- Technology (gadgets, trends, and new developments)
- Business (startups and entrepreneur/company profiles)
- Lifestyle (food, drink, leisure, entertainment, health)
- Dating, sex, and sexual health
- Creative writing, books, traditional book publishing, and self-publishing.
My articles have been published in HWM Philippines, Entrepreneur Philippines, FHM Philippines, 2nd Opinion, Rappler, Philippines Graphic, Impact Magazine, and Tech in Asia, among other media outfits. Assignments range from half-pagers to longform pieces, blurbs to cover stories, straight journalism to advertorials.
As for book editing, I have extensive experience in four types of editorial work: proofreading, copy editing, line editing, and developmental editing. I edit books written in English and Tagalog, and accept fiction and nonfiction manuscripts.
Sometimes, I take on content marketing work, too. I can help you brainstorm, plan, research, write, edit, and publish in-depth and informative content for your own business or your clients. My past clients include full-service PR and boutique digital marketing agencies, in-house events companies, tech manufacturers, and online retail and alternative financing firms.
Writing and editing go beyond my work hours as well. I was an MFA-Creative Writing candidate (for creative nonfiction) at De La Salle University, and I hope to return to the program someday. But I’m also still drafting my book-length manuscript, which I hope to publish independently in 2025. I was also a writing fellow (for creative nonfiction in English) at the 2017 UST National Writers’ Workshop.
Between assignments and ongoing personal projects like The Reading Spree and Semi-Online, I’m either out seeing my loved ones in real (offline) life or binge-watching fantasy/sci-fi/psychological horror shows and movies at home. I used to travel a lot too, which I hope to resume in the future.
