Stop disgracing your lineage on a public forum!

Bring your lineage that eventually wasted resources to have you educated till this point so I can let them know you turned out to be a waste.

You just received a schooling from me free of charge. The least you could do is to acknowledge it, accept the correction, and promise yourself you will diligently study your primary school books up till basic 12, then hope you can finally pass common entrance without cheating.

Do yourself a favor and buzz off. If you are actually in the mood to be used as a wet wipe for a disease ridden ass, then come back for it.
I will indulge you. I promise.

I'm not in Lagos. I stay in Benin. please I really want to know if you paid for formatting. They asked me to pay 3k each for formatting the work. Did you make any such payment??


Oh.. you're not in Lagos? I see.

I'm not the publisher. I'm talking about the publisher I use his books because I'm a phonics and diction instructor. I market his books to my schools and he gives me at the rates I mentioned above. So what I'm saying is if it's that expensive to print, he won't be able to give me at that rate.

When you say formatting, do you mean the objects and pictures? That would be like arranging the pics on the pages for you but if you already have it well arranged in the your soft copy, that should be a scam as all they need to do is print out. I wouldn't know if they charge him for formatting ( except they are the ones inserting the pics for him) but even if they do, it should be cheap.

I intend publishing some books on basic phonics for nursery and primary pupils. I had already typed the and visited someone on my street for arranging the work before printing.
I was asked to pay 3k to format each work before any other thing. The charges are as follows:

1. formatting 3k each
2. back cover 1k each
3. ISBN no. 7k each
4. printing #400 each. About 70 pages

I'm printing 6 different books but I have a strong feeling that I'm being cheated as I don't have any experience regarding how much these things cost. please I need to know if I'm being cheated. Please help me out. Thank you.

This is exactly the reason why we are at this level @60. The essence of communication is to pass information effectively and be understood. I am sure most of you above arguing whether it's "I'm or am" understood her perfectly well...to profer solution?......NO!...we are concerned about grammar and how we were educated.
Na wetin mek the political elites dey carry us play.....give us something to argue and fight ourselves over while leaving the major issues on ground unattended.
Hope dey for us sha....the sooner we come back to our senses the better
As for OP...Sorry I don't have single knowledge about publishing and so can't help you for now.

Had it been you are in Lagos, I would have helped out. Depending on the quantity. I would print everything, excluding ISBN which I can also get for you at a way lower price. You can still send me an email anyway. It's possible, since people print from China, Lagos is not that far.

The truth is the fewer the copies the more the cost per copy!
And it's rare to see a printer that would just help out...
Imagine if a printer out of pity prints at a "kuku thief the book rate", only to discover at the end that dia is an typo error with the back cover?
Who would fund the reprint?

Or if dia is an error with the size of the book?


Anyway... When he is ready he can reach out to me and I would assist him as a first time self-publisher.

I know the fewer the more the cost but not at that rate.

The printer prolly sensed it's his first time and maybe he's the only one in that location.

Why would there be any error in the write-up.? That's why you'll have someone proof-read it before printing. About size, you'll first make samples now. Besides he'll have given you specifications of what he wants. So if there's any error, the printer will have to bear the cost.

The guy should check other printing press to campare prices.
