Pecca:
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.

We can make your dream come true. Call us today. Thank you

Naijasinglegirl:
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.

...You didn't mentioned the title of the book

Congrats NSG. You have done what many of us are still dreaming about.

You said we could ask you any question. here are two pls:

1) Did you get help with professional editors to do the editing for you? If yes, How much does such service cost in Nigeria?
2) To publish a 240 page book, how much should one budget for the first 1,000 copies?

Re: I Self-Published A Book! Thank You Nairaland by Naijasinglegirl(op): 10:53pm On Mar 19, 2016

Editors charge between 50kobo per word to 3 naira. It depends on how you are able to negotiate. Call my publisher on 07032212481 or send a DM to harmonypub on Twitter.
