I know, I know, I haven’t been doing one of these for a bit because life has been busy. But I’m getting back to it! In this week’s edition, we have Renren Galeno, the Severino Reyes Medal, New Philippine Speculative Fiction 2, and the Juggernaut book launch.
Pinoy illustrator Renren Galeno in Forbes list
Renren Galeno made some noise last year when her work for the Washington Post, “Searching for Maura”, ended up as a finalist in the 2024 Pulitzer Prize. Now she’s added another recognition to her list as Forbes has included her in its “30 Under 30 Asia” list. Congratulations Renren!
