Pop FictionSoon after the chart triumph of Bianca Bernardino’s She’s Dating the Gangster, Summit Books presents a new imprint that will bring more works by budding writers in the online community to chick lit fans nationwide.

Pop Fiction was born out of Summit Books’ mission to bring literary hopefuls to a wider, book-reading audience. In fact, She’s Dating the Gangster was an online story posted in Candymag.com’s TeenTalk forum when Summit Books picked it up, edited it, and published it in March this year. A month after its release, She’s Dating the Gangster shot to the top of National Book Store’s Philippine bestseller chart—proving that little-known works can become mainstream sensations.

Operation: Break the Casanova's Heart“Since the success of She’s Dating the Gangster, we’d get a lot of inquiries from aspiring writers who want their stories published,” Summit Books team publisher Christine Ko says. “As one of the few publishers of modern fiction in the Philippines, we want to support, promote, and inspire literary talents in the country who are just waiting to be discovered.”

Pop Fiction’s first release, Operation: Break the Casanova’s Heart by Aly Almario (a.k.a. Alyloony), hits bookstores nationwide this month. The tale, which has gained a cult following among online fan fiction readers, follows college girl Naomi on her mission to take revenge on the campus Casanova who broke her best friend’s heart—by giving him a taste of his own medicine.
