New Asian chic books authored by 3 Filipinas

International Publisher Marshall Cavendish has coveted, not just one, not only two, but three Filipina writers to launch the Asia version of their runaway success chick lit in the US and UK called “Asia Chic” books.

The first selection of three Asian Chic books are:

Undercover Tai Tai by Maya Calica

Amazing Grace by Tara Sering

Mrs-Mismarriage by Noelle Chua.

Women in Asia have found a new voice today. A voice that is reflected in a fun, sassy and witty chick lit genre that is written by Asian women, for Asian women set within the Asian socioeconomic milieu.

All three authors (two of whom are Singapore-based) are encouraged by the worldwide success of books such as Bridget Jones Diary, The Devil Wears Prada and Sex And the City.

Their being chosen to launch the initial Asian Chic books is a true testament of the talent of Filipino authors worldwide.

Set within the Asian context, the three original “Asian Chic” works are a collection of Asian chick lit, written by Asian women for Asian women, uniquely portraying the Asian personality and voice as reflected in the books’ characters.

Chick lit’s popularity is largely due to its witty and humorous writing and engaging plots and characters that many of its female readers, mainly within the 20-30 something age group, can identify with. The story line usually evolves around female protagonists who are often single, twenty-to-thirty-somethings, navigating the urban jungle, while faced with a myriad of love, career and family issues.
