Pia Wurtzbach to release a self-help book
Pia Wurtzbach is coming up with a new book after the successful launch of her novel, Queen of the Universe.
In a post on her Instagram broadcast channel, Life Updates with Pia, the Miss Universe 2015 titleholder said she is writing a self-help book.
"So... there are a few projects I'm working on at the moment. One of them is a self-help book on how to build confidence and get into the never-give-up mindset," she began and noted that she had already started the writing process. The beauty queen also added that the book contains all the lessons she learned throughout her years.
"I've started the writing process already. Slowly but surely... all the lessons I learned throughout the years."
Pia also asked her fans and described her book as "a guide to life."
"Would you be interested in a book like that? A guide to life?"
In case you don't know, Pia launched her first-ever novel at the Manila International Book Fair in Pasay City last September and on Nov. 5 at Design Orchard in Singapore.
On Wednesday, Nov. 22, the 34-year-old beauty queen revealed via Instagram post that her book is already sold out in the country during a book signing event at Gateway Mall 2 in Cubao. She also said that her book topped the bestseller list on the National Bookstore.
"It's great to be back in Araneta... and it hits different this time," Pia wrote in the caption. "My heart is full knowing that #QueenoftheUniverse is number 1 on the @nationalbookstore bestsellers list! Thanks to everyone who came out to the book signing…and to all who have purchased it online here in the Philippines — we’re sold out!" she added.
The newly minted author then thanked her fans and supporters for this success.
"Grateful for all the support and love! I’m so proud of all the hard work that has gone into making this book a success. I hope that in reading it, you all find the same joy and inspiration that I did while writing it. I’m so glad that this story is now being shared with the world."
As the queen of the Universe herself, Pia is planning to hold a book tour in the United States which she revealed on Instagram last month.
"Short and sweet but guess what…we’ll be back soon!" the caption read.
"By we, I mean Cleo and I Currently planning a US book tour for #QueenOfTheUniverse next year and we already have a few states in mind — Hawaii, SF/LA, Arizona, Oregon, Texas and NYC. Next year pa, but I’m already so excited and can’t wait to meet all of you in person!" she added.
Queen of the Universe is loosely based on Pia's autobiography and revolves around Cleo, the estranged daughter of a well-known director who ventures into the world of beauty pageants.
"When it comes to fame and fortune, how high a price is too high, and when do you know that you've paid too much? This debut novel by an actress and pageant titleholder gives a window on the hidden rungs of that ladder, and on the pain that comes with slipping and falling," the book's synopsis read, adding that it's "about remembering who you are in the dizzying world of fame and celebrity."
