Hello fellow writers & aspiring authors of literary work, I had been cropping this idea of forming a club to unite all upcoming & aspiring literary writers in Nigeria, to help us conquer the barrier of dying with our dreams of being published authors, and to also unite us to form a strong, united association to achieve our life goal of becoming renowned authors. If this club works, we will be holding semi-annual and annual meetings to review our individual works. we will also be doing constructive critics to assist members produce good quality works. we will also go as far as doing contributory publishing and maybe come up with our own club anthology of short stories & poems. etc, etc. lets just start first. pls membership is free, but u must be a writer or aspiring writer in these genre(s): fiction/non-fiction short stories, novellas, novel, poetry or drama. pls if u would love to join, kindly indicate your interest, by dropping your email for further communication. sorry I had to post it on romance section to attract more members attention. will still move it to literature section, moderators pls dnt delete it. Thanks guys, hope u all had a blissful saturday?

@killz, I know my brother, and if u did read my post, I apologized to moderators to pls leave it here to gain more audience. I am sorry I am breaking the law, pls do bear with me...this thread would help lots of folks, including myself, cos as a group we would succeed fast, and it will be an honour to reference NL as the platform from which this great movement rolled off!

Luv dis idea of urs n it wil realy help our youth who spends tym on movies,video games n d likes.i pray it survive d day,here is mine Abeypopson@yahoo.com

Thanks killz, and bey, ur welcome, will contact u, lets hope & pray it works, cos it will be a great success for all of us, pls guys try & join & lets make a difference; since heinmanne publishing closed the door by ending the african writers series, which brought chinua achebe, cyprian ekwensi, etc to limelight, now we can prime-move a new movement for the Nigerian youths, pls join the league & do spread d news.

I want to use this opportunity to invite you specially again to come & join this new club I initiated, it is called: Naija Young Writers Club, and the mission is to unite all aspiring and established youth writers in Nigeria to help us all achieve our dreams of becoming successful & renowned published authors in literary works. To that effect, we will be holding meetings, seminars, and also we will be doing joint critics amongst members to help each member grow & become polished in his/her writings. We will also go as far as doing joint publishing of our works, for instance, publishing an anthology of our own short stories, written by members, and jointly promoting it both on media, internet and everywhere. we will also be giving grants and assistances to members who have produced good manuscripts but have no money to fund their work, plus plenty other things, meanwhile, all aspiring and established young (18 to 40) Nigerian writers home or abroad, pls kindly come & join us & lets make a difference. Pls navigate through the literature or romance sections of this forum & u would see: Naija Young Writers Club- Join Now!, and kindly indicate your interest and by dropping your email for further communications. Thank u guys. u can as well email me at: dailyy.newss@gmail.com, by indicating your interest in the writers club.

I want in eikhalo@yahoo.com

Restrictin club membership τ̅☺ specific genre is nt advisable. Am 24, a graduate wit a 2.1 in accountin edu, currently doin masters in edu mgt, hope τ̅☺ go into lecturin, already hav some topics written by me in my field. Let me knw if am qualified for dis. enameyajacob@yahoo.com

@Jenans, sorry if it sounded specific, but it is intended to assist & explore hidden & known young writers in literary works of Nigerian decent. sorry pls...the official flagging off would take place once we are up to 50 or 100. cheers, pls guys come & join us.

lola needs to join this.The girl is talented.

@pendo, yes I have read her works, good so far, u can invite her if she is willing to join, believe me, this club will hit the media if we jointly work together.
@swit, welcome...once we are 100, we flag it off officially. welcome.

Herz mine etorojama@yahoo.com

are there particular themes or focus points you'll be writing about, or will it be mainly freelancing, with each writer exploring their own subject of interest.

I like dis idea. Mine is edydeyemi@hotmail.com

I have 4 un published works n wud really luv ds club to help me edit dem. Ma emal is whiteguru_1179@yahoo.com. Search for David Wilson on fb or whiteguru on 2go

Some of the questions asked will be addressed by members when the club has been flagged off officially. Pls we need u talented Nigerians, come & join us & lets jointly make a difference & write our names in history. pls take away pride; I know each and everyone of us wants our works to be published by reputable traditional publishers like, macmillan, harpes, penguin, etc, but unfortunately, most of those big publishers hardly accept unsolicited manuscripts from upcoming or yet to be established authors, so why not we Nigerians surprise them & hit them with quality works? Look at Wizkid now being signed officially by konvict music usa, would he have been able to stand consideration if he had not been doing something great that the world saw & recognized? pls lets start jointly & come together with our initiatives to move mountains! join us pls.
