Welcome to the Pop Fiction Wiki
Edit
Pop Fiction was born out of Summit Books’ mission to bring literary hopefuls to a wider, book-reading audience. It all began when She’s Dating the Gangster, an online story posted in Candymag.com’s TeenTalk forum was picked up, edited, and published by Summit Books in March of 2013. A month after its release, She’s Dating the Gangster shot to the top of National Book Store’s Philippine bestseller chart and is now a major motion picture—proving that little-known works can become mainstream sensations. To date, Pop Fiction holds a roster of over 30 titles that have proven to be nationwide bestsellers and certified fan favorites. Launched in 2013, Pop Fiction (Popular Fiction) is a Summit Media imprint aimed at teens and young adults. Most of the stories published by Pop Fiction are from the social reading website Wattpad and the website CandyMag.com. All authors behind the Pop Fiction books are exclusive writers for the label (excluding Aly Almario (alyloony), who is now under VIVA-PSICOM).
History
Edit
2013
Edit
Launching, She's Dating the Gangster, Operation: Break the Casanova's Heart The launching of Pop Fiction opened doors and showcases the talent of Filipino writers in the internet community, regardless of genre and/or language. Pop Fiction was born out of Summit Books’ mission to bring literary hopefuls to a wider, book-reading audience. Operation: Break the Casanova's Heart by Aly Almario (alyloony) was the first Pop Fiction book published by Summit Media, although She's Dating the Gangster by Bianca Bernardino (SGwannaB) was already published some months ago through the main Summit Books imprint. The book later became National Book Store's best selling book for October 2013. On December 2013, She's Dating the Gangster was re-released as an extended edition with a new cover and pin-up illustrations as a celebration for being a best-seller in National Book Store and having more reprints.
2014
Edit
New Adult Pop Fiction, Pop Fiction Festival, and Three Words, Eight Letters, If I Say It, Will I Be Yours?
January
Edit
On January, Pop Fiction released their first book under "New Adult Pop Fiction" genre entitled The Filthy, Rich Bitch written by Jhing Bautista (Kwento ni Jhingness). Due to Jhing Bautista's popularity in Wattpad, the book sold and had reprints.
February
Edit
On February, Pop Fiction held their first Pop Fiction Festival in Market! Market! and their first major book-signing event which was attended by many fans of the first batch of Pop Fiction authors (excluding Aly Almario due to attending other book-signings) not only in Metro Manila but also in neighboring provinces and regions, and was proven to be successful. In the event, Jade Pitogo's (girlinlove)sequel to her hit book, Three Words, Eight Letters, Say It and I'm Yours, Three Words, Eight Letters, If I Say It, Will I Be Yours? (Book 2, Part 1) was released and also the first story in Pop Fiction that was split into two parts, due to fans' clamor that the story must not be "shortened" just to fit the story in only one book. The second part (Three Words, Eight Letters, If I Say It, Will I Be Yours? (Book 2, Part 2)) was released a few weeks later in bookstores. Partnership between Pop Fiction and Wattpad, Mad About Books, Cloak and Pop Fiction Festival 2
