Still Skeptical About Publishing Online? by sundayerhun(m): 6:52am On Mar 11, 2015
I have conversed with a number of writers with a longing to get published, but they are yet to hit the road with traditional publishing.

I tell them about the possibility of publishing online, but they wave it off because they are skeptical. They feel nobody will buy their books, or it's not a proper way to get published. But that is not true.

I am proud to say that I have four books published online. I have sold on amazon, smashwords, apple, kobo, and especially, okadabooks.

Online publishing may not be so popular in this part of the country, but that does not erode the fact that it is effective. If I were you, I would put away my skepticism away for once, and give it a try.

I offer publishing assistance. I edit, polish, design the cover, and publish your book in any site of your choice.

Below are the little stipends I do charge to get your work beautifully crafted, and published digitally.

1) Amazon Kindle: #3000
Your book is available in the biggest bookstore in the world.

2) Smashwords:#6000

3) Okadabooks:

Your book is easily purchased by the african market.

4) Lulu: #5000
Beside your book being available digitally, people can order for it, and get a print copy.

So sure you want to get done with it? Email me today, tomorrow or whenever: sundayerhun@gmail.com
Or call, text or WhatsApp: 08164041005

Expecting you!
