The book is available in [...]

The other day, we came across a crowd funding platform for authors called Unbound. The platform basically allows the authors to pitch their ideas to users, who then collectively fund the projects they like. The crowd funding idea sparked another idea in our ever alert brain- that of crowdsourcing. Simply put, crowdsourcing is outsourcing of [...]

The world is going gaga over ebooks and how they have revolutionized the way books are published and the way they are read. Somehow, amidst all this humdrum over ebooks, the print version has almost been forgotten, not by the readers, but by the publishers (at least most of them). Print publishing has already been [...]

Typesetting has always been considered a technical process concerned with the layout of the content on a page to make it ready for publishing. But as much as it is a technical process, it’s an art too, which takes the help of a designer to make the layout timeless, enhance the mood of the storyline [...]

Publishers and author alike have always relied on book reviewers to give them their majority share of limelight and publicity. A good review in the Sunday Times has always seen the publisher smiling, for reasons similar to that of movie producers.

Hi,
I’m a Nigerian writer, whose debut novel, Thoroughly Modern People is out and selling here in the UK and in the US via The publisher website http://www.mydestinyltd.com and also via amazon.com for US readers and Amazon.co.uk for readers from all European countries.

A beautifully moving story, Thoroughly Modern People by Chima Njoku-Latty explores the power of words, both spoken and unspoken, and how they can hurt, heal, and sometimes cause misunderstandings that can derail a life. Devastated by what she believes to be her father’s disinterest in her, Arabella throws herself into relationships with men who are wrong for her. She’s hoping to make a go of it with Max, who is still pining for his ex wife. Interconnected with their lives is Eleanor, who can’t grieve her husband because she believes he had an affair. As these people grapple for happiness, they come face to face with the real truth of their lives and the values they hold dear. A love story for our times, Thoroughly Modern People will hold you captivated.

I am interested in findin out more abt the Nigerian book fair and how/if I can promote my book there at this late stage.

I look fwd to hearing back from you.
Regards
Chima

Dear Friends , Fans and Publishers,
My name is S. A. Abakwue. I am an African author in the U.S. I have lived in this foreign land for almost thirty years. I began to write when I was a sophomore in college. That was in the summer of 1983.
I have twenty one published books on the market. Pretty soon, my book number twenty two will be on the market, too. I write not only in English language, but also in one of the best global languages, known as IGBO LANGUAGE. I write fiction, books on self-empowerment, variety of poems, including love poems. I write romance novels, too. My novels can easily be adapted into major movies. For example, (1) VILLAGE OF THE JUNGLE, (2) DIRTY SOULS: DEVILS AT THE GATE OF GOD, (3) DELIVERANCE: THE BURIED CHARM, etc.
As my fans, you would be delighted to know that the body of my works has been recommended to the Nobel Foundation, many times.
I would love to do business with some great African Publishers and Film Makers in our Africa. To this end, please feel free to have a look at my books online: http://www.amazon.com.
Let me hear from you pretty soon.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
S. A. Abakwue,( African author).
