In this week’s episode, we speak with Christina Newhard, writer and designer behind Sari-Sari Storybooks. She writes bilingual books highlighting the islands and peoples of the Philippines.
We cover a wide range of topics from the importance of representation, sharing regional folk tales, and working with collaborators. In the second half we get into how to run a successful kickstarter campaign, public relations and media coverage.
Sari-Sari Storybooks can be purchased at etsy.com/shop/NewhardDesign or Arkipelago Books. Christina mentions taking a PR workshop through PapaLoDown. Our music is by scottholmesmusic.com.
