http://www.africanloft.com/a-heart-to-mend-myne-whitman-talks-about-her-new-book/: I was excited when I heard of Myne Whitman’s novel, “A heart to mend”. Written by a Nigerian — under the pan name “Myne Whitman”, with Nigerian characters and setting, “A heart to mend” is a fun and fast read. Myne Whitman was happy to talk to us about her book during the Christmas season. Enjoy the interview! Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM7wjivOUy8 |

http://www.jaguda.com/2009/12/29/jaguda-interviews-myne-whitman-author-of-a-heart-to-mend/: I know growing up you must've been exposed to a good number of books and authors. From a literature standpoint, who would you say has been your biggest influence? I wouldn't say I have a single influence, as I have read so widely, but some authors that come to mind are Barbara Cartland, Francine Rivers, Sidney Sheldon, Flora Nwapa, Buchi Emecheta, Cyprian Ekwensi, and more recently Chimamanda Adichie and Jude Dibia. Of all them I identify most strongly with Buchi Emechetas books.

Wow! Congratulations. So what tips can u share with those of us that reside in naij n trying to get a book out- in d international market. |
Re: A New Nigerian Romance Novel by MyneWhite1(f): 4:52pm On Oct 13, 2010 |
kay29000: Thank you Kay29. The main tip is to get online and on the internet. You have to create a platform for yourself and get readership first. After that, you can use any of the self publishing technologies available. There is Lulu, Createspace via Amazon, or Authorhouse, etc. If you want to make it only eBooks, it's the same thing too, in this case you can add kindle too. |
