The National Book Development Board (NBDB) is inviting all interested writers to work for American Institutes for Learning, LLC. Managing Director Mr. JJ Reyes explained through a letter that AIL projects involve “producing adaptations of American, British and European classic literature as supplementary reading materials for English learners.”

To facilitate this endeavor for more gainful employment for Filipino authors, Reyes through the help of NBDB, will be conducting a forum during his visit to the philippines for the 27th manila International Book Fair to further explain the details of the project to interested participants. The said forum is scheduled on 30 August 2006, 5:30-8:00 pm at the Function Room B, World Trade Center, Gil Puyat Ave., Pasay City.

For more information, contact Salvador Briola, Jr. at 929-3887 or email NBDB through aid@nbdb.gov.ph.
