At 1 pm, embark on a transformative financial journey with Ardy, bestselling author and entrepreneur, as he talks about his first ever work of fiction “The Happy Entrepreneur.”

To cap off the day, join leadership and career-life coach Terry Samala de Guzman, founder of TSDCoach, as she bares her life stories with her book “Here I Am: Learning Along the Way” at 5 pm.

On Sunday (August 4), explore the process of writing and creating content for millennials with Angela Soyen Enconado, Neil Jed Castro, and Joena San Diego in "Once More with Feeling: How to Write On-Trend and Relevant Content for the Millennial" at 10 am.

These Kapamilya writers are part of the extensive roster of ABS-CBN Books’ authors, with exciting self-help, fiction, and nonfiction reads. To date, the ABS-CBN publishing arm has sold more than two million books since it started in 2012. ABS-CBN Books has also experienced significant success in the digital space, with books being sold on Lazada, Shopee, and Facebook, and just recently on Amazon Kindle.

Apart from talks from ABS-CBN authors, PWRF 2019 also includes an inspiring array of creative minds—top-billed by 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner Viet Thanh Nguyen and award-winning Filipina novelist Gina Apostol.

Admission to the three-day annual fest is free with registration starting at 9 am every day. Book signing events only covers books purchased from NBS, NBS Express, and Powerbooks branches or online from www.nationalbookstore.com. The authors' books can also be availed at the venue.
