This is a pro bono project of HS Grafik Print and PaperKat Books.

The authors agreed and allowed the publisher to publish their stories in an anthology, whose goal is to give aspiring authors the chance to be published by a real publisher. The project aims to give young authors a stepping stone to more and bigger publishing opportunities. The ebook copies are distributed for free to help new readers discover new authors. The paperback copies are sold at book fairs and on Lazada. Sales from the books power up the next batch of pro bono anthology projects, which then will give more young authors the chance to get published.

REVIEWS

"LOVE IN STYLE reminded me that love does come in every kind of er, style. Watch for female heroines who are strong and principled. I especially enjoyed Kadi Serafica's Coming of Age. It took me back to the time when love was as innocent as a child. LOVE IN STYLE is an enjoyable read. Best done on a rainy Saturday afternoon with a cup of hot choco."

"Coming of Age by Kadi Serafica stood out for me because his presentation of love was fresh. Mary Jane reminded me so much of myself at that age, when I was sure I knew what I wanted and I first got acquainted with heart-pain. The writing was heartfelt and sincere, the emotion innocent and raw. Topnotch story. "

"“I love how this anthology explained the effects of fast fashion and why it’s better to buy from ukay or mix and match your clothes—it’s cheaper, it’s safer, and it doesn’t harm the environment because you’re basically recycling clothes that can still be worn. To be honest, I used to buy cheap clothes from online shopping apps to try and be stylish with cheaper expenses, but I realized that many online sellers also sell ukay clothes with higher quality than the ones I bought. This is an eye-opening book, if you’re looking for something that will encourage you to be chic, Love in Style is for you.”
