She was the first literary agent in the Philippines, the author of the short story collection \u201cFor Love and Kisses\u201d and she is a lawyer specializing in copyright law. Flores is a mother, as well as a book publisher, and her schedule rarely allows her downtime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor an author, it\u2019s quite liberating in that if you really want to reach an audience, you can\u201d with today\u2019s technology, she said. \u201cYou have a lot of control over that vis a vis your social media\u2014you can build your author brand with tools that are within your reach. For women, in particular, it\u2019s very liberating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnology,\u201d she noted, \u201cdemocratizes writing. A new imprint we\u2019re coming out within the summer is practically all women.\u201d The best and newest tech that writers can use is also available at Argomall.<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s Month \u201cfeels like affirmative action\u201d to Flores. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of gender issues that people have to deal with now. There are many people whose identity we have to respect, and it\u2019s a wide, wide LGBT+, and I think women still need the space that must be given to them because there are so many things we are up against.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read manuscripts on my phone. I do everything on the phone. You can do everything on your phone. I work on my emails while I\u2019m in traffic,\u201d Flores told Argomall, so \u201cbattery life is important,\u201d in a handheld device. \u201cI\u2019m on the Viber group for both my phones, so I can answer with whatever phone I\u2019m holding. I have both an Android phone and an iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I might be remembered as someone who pushed that particular agenda: Bringing Filipino voices out internationally, making people notice the Philippines in terms of books. In particular the stories of Filipinos,\u201d Flores said. \u201cI sold the Penman Classics, Nick Joaquin, \u201cSmaller and Smaller Circles\u201d by F.H. Batacan, Charlson Ong, VJ Campilan and Krip Yuson to the Arabic world.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>For more Tech Lifestyle News and Features Visit us at\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/\">Techbeatph.com<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and Visit and Subscribe to our Youtube Channel\u00a0<strong><em><a>here<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empowered women and the technology that powers them Women\u2019s Month celebrates the intelligence and talent of empowered women\u2014and raises awareness that women can be strong and successful.
