One year ago today, SKYLIGHT was released to the world. Now, I'm not an overly sentimental person, but this debut year has been quite the learning experience.

Happy birthday to my 1st book baby! Many this next year be joyous and filled with new fans

How to publish a manga, according to six successful artists Put your idea into print with these top tips.

Love how these tips apply to new writers as well! My favorite is to just get started by working on a one-shot! A writer's equivalent to a short story 🥰

I try hard to keep my opinions to myself, but I also teach that silence is consent. When we're silent, we are 💯 complicit in the happenings around us. We must stand up for those without a voice - even at our own peril.

Speak up & speak out so others don't feel alone 🤎

It was such an honor to be included in this chat on representation in middle grade! Thanks so much to Annie McCann for inviting me! 🥰

This image is the first of four to showcase elements for my upcoming book, Whispers of the Sea. The picture reads: “An Agents Guide to Whispers of the Sea.” This book will be a young adult fantasy.

This is the second image in my guide, and it includes the pitch for my novel. Such pitch reads to say: “Whispers of the Sea follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom. Maia must voyage across the seas to this mysterious isle where she’ll team up with a local boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.”

This is the third image in my guide, and it portrays my comp titles. My book will be perfect for the fans of the Jasad Heir, A River Enchanted, Curious Tides, and the Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi.

This is the last image in my guide, and it showcases the aesthetic and a few elements that can be found in the book. A few of these elements are: found family, secret ploys, outlawed magic, and self discovery.

JASAD HEIR X CURIOUS TIDES

Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around every corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.

🎤We chatted about her journey, inspiration & personal goals. Couldn't think of a better author to interview this #aapiheritagemonth!

As a fellow Southeast Asian author, I love her mission to spread more #SEA stories & her debut's an amazing addition to #Indonesian-Australian fantasy!
