San Antonio author and entrepreneur April Monterrosa is bringing her business experiences to the page with Nobody Told Me This About Business. She’ll celebrate the release with a book signing and business panel on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at CoPlay Cove in San Antonio. Joining her for the conversation are Alyse Zagada, Deepika Agrawal Mittal, and Vilma Tovar.
Readers, entrepreneurs, and community members are invited to meet Monterrosa, purchase a signed copy, and celebrate her newest book. The book and interactive workbook are combined in one volume, available for $30.
Nobody Told Me This About Business draws on Monterrosa’s experience as a business owner and publisher to explore the lessons that come with building something of your own. It addresses boundaries, practical survival tips, and the importance of creating a business that fits your life. The interactive workbook brings a personal element to the reading experience, giving readers a way to engage with the material.
For aspiring entrepreneurs and people already running a business, the signing is an opportunity to meet the author behind those experiences. The conversation brings together women working in media, marketing, and entrepreneurship, with room to connect over the realities of growing a business and staying involved in the community.
Monterrosa is an award-winning entrepreneur, author, and the founder and publisher of Live From The Southside. Her experience includes owning a spa, building a media company, and connecting people through writing and community work. This release offers another opportunity to gather around business and the experiences that come with it.
