LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, August 22, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — WeBook Publishing, an indie publishing company, proudly presented the vibrant WeBook Author’s Panel celebrating National Latina Day.

The event took place on August 19th at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, attracting a diverse audience eager to celebrate Latina literature and culture.
The panel, thoughtfully moderated by renowned journalist Vera Jimenez, brought together a group of talented immigrant authors to discuss their literary journeys, share insights, and connect with the audience. The authors Suzana Pires and Michelle Galluff were present to discuss their writing journey in a second language, as well as their immigration journey. Both are launching books with WeBook, available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and soon at Target online.

Participants had the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs faced by these talented individuals, underscoring the importance of representation and the celebration of Latina voices in literature.
“It’s an emotional experience when you can see, taste and touch your dream and know that other people are making their own dreams come true because you had the courage to go and do it, and bring them alongside you”, says Ana Silvani, owner of WeBook. “This was a seed that I planted and at this event, it turned into something beautiful!”
