Looking for Andoy: Doms and MJ

Salanga winner MJ Tumamac and Alcala winner Doms Agsaway finally met to discuss publishers' contracts on the publication of their story, Ngumiti Si Andoy. I had a good time facilitating the bidding as these two young artists had been frank and open.

This will be MJ Tumamac's first published book for children. Doms Agsaway is already a published illustrator but winning the Alcala Prize this year thrilled him to the bones as he joins the roster of prominent Inkies who've snagged the Alcala medal in past competitions.

Good luck to MJ and more power to Doms!
