We’re thrilled to announce that our selection for the Allison Joseph Series is The Pillar Dwellers’ Handbook by Isabel Cristina Legarda. Isabel’s chapbook will be published midyear as Number 5 in the series. Manuscripts for the Allison Joseph Series are considered annually during the month of November.

Isabel Cristina Legarda was born in the Philippines and spent her early childhood there before moving to the U.S. She is currently a practicing physician in Boston. Her chapbook Beyond the Galleons was published in April 2024 by Yellow Arrow Publishing.

Please join us in welcoming Isabel to the Seven Kitchens family.
