Its like writers in Nigeria has finally disappeared its been a long time since have read a fiction novel done by a Nigerian gone are the days of wole soyinka chinua achebe and so on, like literature isn't wat it use to be. am i wrong about this

Young writers are doing are doing well as well. Take out time and read recent literatures by Nigerian Authors

pls list or recommend some 2 me

Kindly go through the excerpt of one of my works and tell me what u think.

Have you heard of Onyeka Nwelue? He wrote a book titled 'The Abysinian boy' . I think he even got an award for writing the book. Check him out on google. I haven't read the book, but I've heard that its great.

For Rosebud1:
i went through the extract of your work "Conditional inheritance"- chapter 8. Although chapter 1 would have been a better place to start from-- but you had your reasons for not towing that introductory path. It centers around Okezie in Dubai, the environment , the bar scene, the battery on the lady, taking to his heels. you deployed a combination of the narrative approach, also the descriptive aspect( not so much), but you used snippets of what i refer to as 'Nigerian English' in conveying your message (which should be corrected). I don't know what genre of fictional work you've adopted, cos sometimes thought flow matters a lot in keeping your readers riveted on the final story flow in the novel. I run wise insight, and amongst other things we proofread, edit people's works. Please visit http://www.wiinsight.com or call : 08069803298, 07036693703 for more info.

Do take care!

I am a new romance writer. I just published two novels: OBSESSION and HIS SIN. Please visit my website at www.nettyejike.com and offer some advice or something. Thanks.

Hi Peace world,
i'm not sure i understand what part i got wrong, whether it's the Nigerian English stuff ( use of vernacular is ok, but using the way you converse in every day life without paying attention to the grammatical rules, hmmm!. Publishing a book is not a problem at all, esp in this epoch where self publishing has taken a quantum leap in the publishing world, it's the sales and recognition (local/ Intl)given to the book that counts at the end of the day. i'll visit your designated site,

Agstar

You can read the list done by this blogger for more on contemporary Nigerian writers.

Myne, thanks for the link. I was quite captivated with what I saw.

You can take a look at something I have worked on. I have been at it for six years now, so I can say it is really worth reading. Let me know if you like it and want some more of it.


@ Agstar,
I have been to your site. It is not easy to find such services. Do you offer Representation for new writers? Will you charge a few for Critiquing? I have the first few chapters of my work here. Please let me have your candid thoughts on it.

I dont really think usage of Nigerian English (as you may call it) really matters. check Chinua ACHEBE'S works na. swag it up with some african swagg jor
