I do have but I wish it could be on a more private forum.

Let me know what you think.

Hi NSG, congratulations and more of this! Pls, kindly attach a list of bookshops we can get a copy from and I think you should start working on an international recognition for this great job! Media publicity would do a great job! The cover page alone would keep selling the book, the title is just so on point... and m just so happy for u.

I don't know u before... but work hard on this job!

I want to use this opportunity to thank those of you who always had nice things to say each time I published a post here. Especially those who thought I would make a good author someday.
Every time I post a 'job hunting experience', most of reprimanded me to stop wasting my time submitting job applications when I had something bigger in me, you urged me to monetise my talent. A few of you even called me 'Chimamanda' which is very flattering.

The good news is, I finally did it! Not only did I write, I got published which is every writer's dream. My book was made available in print this week and the reviews I am getting makes me really happy.

When I started out last year, I literally slept on Nairaland. This is where I came to look for information on Nigerian editors, authors, p graphic designers, publishers and the process of obtaining an ISBN number. Nairaland was truly one of my biggest sources for information and I could not help but mention it in a few chapters in my fictional novel.

Anyway, I don't want to trail from the purpose of this post. This is me saying a big thank you to everyone who supported me here. Moderators et all. (Including you, Seun).
I know a lot of budding authors are reading this I want this post to inspire them. I read something similar to this seven months ago that forced me to seat up.

If anyone has any questions related to self-publishing, ask and I'll try to respond to all of them.

Congratulations. I need to ask some questions via email. May I?

Re: I Self-Published A Book! Thank You Nairaland by Pecca: 8:25pm On Mar 19, 2016

I write crime fictions and I have a few manuscripts( completed & uncompleted) put away. My dream of becoming a published writer was cut short by Spectrum Books. Their conditions was quite discouraging then. give me your publishers' link. Who knows, I may just un-earth my manuscripts ie if their conditions are favourable. Thanks.

Congrats NSG.

I also published my first print book in 2014.

Guess what? The first chapter of that book was a Nairaland post on academic success I made in 2008. I later converted that post to a standard article, and it later formed Chapter 1 of my book.
