Queen Pia is now a published author

Pia Wurtzbach, the renowned entrepreneur, advocate, and former Miss Universe 2015, is all set to grace the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) on September 14, an event eagerly anticipated by book enthusiasts. Unfolding at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, MIBF promises to be a literary extravaganza, with Wurtzbach taking center stage as a special guest.

The day’s proceedings will commence with the opening ceremonies at 10 a.m. with Wurtzbach scheduled to introduce her title, “Queen of the Universe,” to the public at 6:30 p.m.

The entrepreneur, advocate, and former Miss Universe 2015 will launch her first novel, ‘Queen of the Universe,’ (inset) at the Manila International Book Fair. 

Afterward, Queen P, as the new author is often called, is expected to regale the audience with insights into her writing journey, offering a glimpse into the creation of her first literary work. Additionally, she will autograph copies of her book for the first 250 buyers. This meet and greet session, exclusively available to customers who have purchased signed copies from Fully Booked, promises to be a memorable experience for her dedicated admirers.

Wurtzbach’s multifaceted career has indeed catapulted the proud Filipina into the international limelight. As a successful entrepreneur, she has established a formidable brand and business empire spanning beauty, fashion, food, and lifestyle. Her impact extends far beyond her professional endeavors, with a substantial social media following of over 20 million.

Wurtzbach is further renowned for her fervent advocacy for gender equality and mental health, actively supporting prominent charities such as UNAids and Unicef. She has also launched the empowering platform, “Between Us Queens”, and delivered motivational talks at TEDx events.

Poised for International acclaim, the book will soon be available to readers in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, the UAE, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Wurtzbach’s newest achievement is made possible via a collaboration between Tuttle Publishing and ABS CBN Books. Tuttle Publishing, founded in 1832, is among the oldest American publishers in continuous operation. Renowned for its vast collection of books on Asian culture, history, and art, it includes titles focusing on the Philippines and works by Filipino authors.

Wurtzbach’s literary agent, ABS-CBN Books, meanwhile boasts an impressive portfolio of best-selling authors, including the late Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Alex Gonzaga, Solenn Heussaff, Georgina Wilson, Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, Charo Santos-Concio, Vice Ganda, and, most recently, Binibing Mia. The publication of “Queen of the Universe” marks a significant milestone as ABS-CBN Books’ first international venture.

The Manila International Book Fair, running from September 14 to 17, stands as the Philippines’ largest and most enduring book fair, consistently attracting over 100,000 attendees each year. Follow @ManilaBookFair on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
