From Rejection to Resilience: An Author’s Journey to Publication

Join us for an inspiring talk with romance and fantasy author CW Rose shares the story behind their debut novel “Oceansong”. CW Rose will reveal their path to publishing, marked by setbacks, close calls, and invaluable lessons. As an Asian-American author navigating a largely white publishing industry, she faced unique challenges that shaped both her journey and the stories she tells. 

After the talk, there will be a signing and meet and greet with the author.

C.W. Rose is a Fantasy and Romance author who writes about ordinary Asian women in extraordinary situations, and find themselves, and sometimes—okay, usually—love along the way, and the cinnamon roll (not always human) men who adore them. She is also a certified scuba diver and lifeguard with a deep love for the world and animals around us, though she hasn’t spotted any mermaids yet. Outside of writing, you can find her buried in a great book, learning to sing in different languages, and finding any excuse to spend time outdoors. She’s also a third culture kid who grew up in Singapore, and currently lives in New York City with her family, working as a Physical Therapist.
