Do We Have Published Authors Here? by cisse7575(m): 9:02pm On Apr 14, 2011
Who among us is published author?
If yes, what is the genre and the title?
Just wondering if there is one in this forum.

Keep writing

Find a stranger(qualified) to read and evaluate your work

join a writing group that will critique your work

Find an editor

Keep editing, and re writing

Start querying agents and publishers

Get a publisher

Self publish if you want/can

Good luck.

where can i find writer group in lag?
Re: Do We Have Published Authors Here? by MyneWhite1(f): 3:58pm On Apr 18, 2011
There are several agents and publishers who have worked with Nigerians, so keep querying. Remember Chimamanda, Adaobi Nwaubani, Lola Shoneyin, they were all published abroad.

I don't know a Lagos writing group, but you can join one online at naija stories .com

Re: Do We Have Published Authors Here? by Netra: 2:30pm On Apr 22, 2011
Cisse, I'm a romance author. My novels are OBSESSION and HIS SIN. The third, STORMY AFFAIR, will be released next month. I'm forming a romance series just like Harlequin. Mine is DeRafelo Romance. I'm looking for writers cos I can't do it all alone. So if you are a romance writer, I'd love us to talk. BUT I write about Whites. I hope it won't be a problem to you. Looking forward to hearing from you.
