Born in Manila, B. Wiser is a journalist, media strategist, and PR specialist.
She has lived in several different countries throughout her career, enjoying successful stints in advertising, luxury brand management, and public relations. As a journalist, she contributes regularly to several international publications, focusing mainly on fashion, travel, and lifestyle coverage.
Her love for words goes beyond reading and writing; she is a trained calligrapher.
She once self-published a book of poetry, sending it off to a master bookbinder and illuminator in Florence whose family had been in the trade since the Renaissance. It was intended as an anniversary present for her husband. He tossed it aside when she presented it to him. Needless to say, he is no longer her husband.
She is back in Manila after an extended hiatus. She has two daughters who should not be reading this bookâyet.
