I'm an unpublished upcoming writer who have already written four novels, two novellas, five plays and about thirty poems. I seriously need help and tutoring on publications of books. do help me, please. Thanks! [quote author=JUDESY86]I am happy to announce to everyone in the house that there is a thriving market for every Nigerian writers and writers-to-be to tap in and make thousands of Naira weekly-GUARANTTEE. My nane is Jude Binang; a prolific writer, proofreader, and editor with Nigerian Chronicle: a daily newspaper publisher in Cross River State. Having been a writer for over three years , i got to found out that authors are not adequately paid for their works by publishers,especially upcoming authors who need everything to stay in the game of writing.It remain a fact that publishers often have problems with authors any time the issue of royalty comes up. So, i went into the market and carried out a detailed research.In my research, i discovered a thriving market for writers. I found out what publishers want and why they want them. I found out what could turn you into a millionnaire if you are a writer of educational story books or writer to be and you have got what it takes,plus the spare time

author=Hilaskee]What a life! A life well spent!! Done and Gone!!! The
Sweet Sleep!!!! Our mouth is closed as the Iroko tree falls...Our eyes
are winking at the library that has burnt down...Our feet is speaking to
the great pass away...Our fingers is now learning the ways of the
Hero...When tommorrow comes with her riddles; when we can no longer hear
the voice of the teacher; when things fall apart and the center can no
longer hold; when the ways of man becomes the ways of the ant; when we
blame the kite and also blame the chicken; when people begin to gather
in the moonlight because of the moon; when people now gather because of
hunger; when things is no longer at ease because brother now fear
brother; when the lizard can no longer praise and pride in his acrobatic
skills; when the young cow now refuses to watch how the mother-cow
chews the grass; when the sun begins to rise from the West and sets at
the East; when the South wind begins to blow from the North; when we
cross over the river to listen to the wisdom of our Hero...only for the
Angel to tell us that our Hero is in his paradise with his Maker...What a
life? The tree that dances yesterday dies tommorrow; the river that
sings today dries tommorrow...Is is true that Chinua Achebe is no more?
Is it true that the father of the pen has left his book? Is it true that
the Eagle in the Iroko have left his throne? Chinua Achebe is dead?

Literature / Re: What Is The Difference Between Learnt And Learned? by WashingtonOla: 3:23pm On May 25, 2013
The learned are always vigilant.
I learnt French while in Paris
topup: What is the difference between learnt and learned.

Please use examples, I often get confused in which I should use or why.

It was what I learnt.
It was what I learned.

??I learned from the best.
I learnt the hard way??
