Hi guys and a happy new year to all my friends in nairaland. I'm all out this year to help you guys aand I am starting right now! Want to publish your book? The company that published my book is not in Nigeria, though they do a good job. You'll need up to N70,000 to do this but the result will surely impress you, blow your mind, that is. Pls contact my book consultant and please remind her that George Shadow referred you to her. Dont forget this so that she'll give you some incentives alongside the deal. Her contact is

Do take care.

How do u pay to them since they are not in nigeria, and do they help in marketing your book- just concerned about what the 70,000 entails.

OK, Kay, you can pay with credit card here in Nigeria, and yes they will market your book if you choose a package that includes marketing,

But I heard self-publishing is not so highly respected as in no one will regard you as a proper writer. Also, you have to do a lot of the work of selling yourself.

@lindakiss
have you self published with them before?

@Kay/ No I haven't but Peaceworld has and here's the link to his book

I just wanted to know the advantages and disadvantages of publing with them.

You can actually publish your book for free using the internet. All you would need are
- The completed manuscript in digital form
- The cover page
- Internet access
- Publishing account

Apart from the internet cost, all others you can get free so if you are a good writer, you can simply logon the website and start self publishing your books for the whole world for free

As an unpublished writer don't get intoxicated with the idea of selling to a publisher. They focus majorly on established authors so as to leverage their expertise and obtain sales and publicity. My advice is this: try to self publish, no matter how difficult it might sound to you. Trust me it will pay off. Or you can try our print-on-demand option. We print for as low as 150 copies for as low as 55naira per copy depending on the number of pages and book format. Visit www.tobit.tk or 08182712969.
