Let’s write Crime! Filipino writers were challenged
to write tales of dark pathways and mysterious psyches, misdemeanor and
trouble, dread and doubt.
#HeistClub was
an online workshop facilitated by Mina V. Esguerra in the last quarter of 2015.
The class was organized by Bronze Age Media and sponsored by Buqo and Enderun’s
The Study.
Each crime story had to be set in the Philippines,
and it had to be written in English.
Each story should pave the way for a series, so it should be Case #1,
with the next cases in the works for subsequent release. A foreign language
needed to be incorporated into the story,
with our sponsor, Enderun
providing writers with free translation services.
The following mentors gave invaluable tips and lessons
to the writers during the course of the workshop: Jennifer Hillier, F.H.
Batacan, R.J. Taduran, Kevin Uy, Juliet Grames, and Andrea Pasion-Flores.
In the end, sixteen crime stories were
produced. They were released in three
ebook bundles on the Buqo application early this year. The bundle names are: What We Fear, Why We Run, and What We Hide.
