Has the book been published yet? Then you have to know those who're interested. |

He mean't launching and not publishing it. You know, gather some influential people in a nice cozy place and they donate some money to him and buy some copies of the book,that kind of thing. I think launching of books is a Nigerian thing. I've never heard of a foreign author launching a book before. |

@ OP, BTW, have you seen this article by PA Modupe Oduyoye on the Guardian Newspaper (May 17, 2009): [b]"Book Launching Is Killing Book Publishing In Nigeria" [url]http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/business/article04//indexn3_html?pdate=170509&ptitle=Book%20Launching%20Is%20Killing%20Book%20Publishing%20In%20Nigeria&cpdate=293008 [/url] You should probably look through it and see how "book launching" is regarded before you proceed. |

Joan4427:i have read the article,what he was saying is true,he was talking about authors who stop making copies after the launching.the reputation of the author is at stake.the truth is just how else can an upcoming and unknown author makes his money if he self publish.or else if all this publishing house publish for u,they will mak all d money. my idea is that ,if one hav a good social network,one can tak advantage of it to launch one book. |

Unless you are connected to the right people, you may not make much from the launching. That's the truth. Whom do you know? And how much do you think they will be willing to donate? |
