BECOMING A PUBLISHED INTERNATIONAL AUTHOR WITH ONLY N15,000

This is targeted solely at Nigerians.

If you are satisfied with being unpublished, then this is not for you.

If you published and satisfied with being a local champion only, this may not be for you.

If becoming an overnight billionaire is your only motivation for wanting to be a published writer, this is definitely not for you.

If you already have you own books printed in the USA, you sincerely do not need this... In short, I could learn one or two things from you smile emoticon

Having gone through (www DOT speakingpen DOT net) and the FAQ, here we go go go---->

Hi,

You're appreciated for taking time to read through our web and frequently asked questions.

If you pay N15,000, it covers cover design (front, spine and back, which you can use for your Nigeria Print too). It also covers interior design (which is totally in conformity with foreign our printer's requirement).

It's already stated in the FAQ that if you pay N8000, your script would be formatted for kindle (a special ebook format) and it covers for the front cover only since ebooks do not require spine and backcover.

Does that include the designing and printing of the interior and exterior of the book?...and... .for how many copies?....

#

As lucidly stated in the FAQ, N8000 makes your book available only in a widely read ebook format on Amazon. Typically, amazon don't allow Nigerians buy... so only non-african countries can buy your book.

Also, as clearly stated in the FAQ you read, N15000 include formatting cost, processing cost, delivery cost and you'd get 4 to 8 copies only depending on the dollar rate, production cost and shipping cost as per time.

For now, the unstable shipping cost per copy is around $11 and your book's production cost $4. Subsequent copies e.g 10 more copies would between 2000 to 3000 each.

Also as stated in the FAQ you had read, the capital for printing abroad is low but the cost per unit is expensive and the shipping cost per unit is even about four time more expensive per copy.

Therefore:

THIS OPTION IS FOR THOSE WHO WANT THEIR BOOK AVAILABLE BEYOND THE SHORES OF NIGERIA TO ATTAIN THE STATUS OF AN INTERNATIONAL AUTHOR.

SECONDLY, IT FITS FOR WRITERS WHO WANT TO GAIN THE STATUS OF A PUBLISHED AUTHOR AND AUTHORS WHO DON'T WANT TO STOCK 1000 COPIES UNDER THE BED. LESS THAN 20 COPIES OF THEIR BOOK PRINTED.
__________________________________


As clearly stated in the FAQ you said you had read, if 1000 copies is what you want, printing in USA is not a right option for you. We would have to get your book printed in Nigeria. Printing in Nigeria requires higher capital. We don't accept less than 500 copies.
The cost of printing in Nigeria depends on a whole lot of factors which has to be calculate for each book. On the average, 1000 copies can cost say, N150,000 to N180000. And 500 copies can cost between N100,000 to N130,000. That is mathematics of the publishing industry.

As clearly stated under the appropriate section of our website you read through, we sincerely stated that how we readily promote books we publish but full-fledge marketing is treated as a different package, which attracts a different negotiation after publication.

..selling (books), how will it be done? We can make your book available on stores like Kaymu and Konga (and Amazon for US Print). We recommend book launch and book signings, which we can sure guide you through.

.. One bitter truth is, the Nigeria situation states that "no one can ever market the book better the author of it". I understand the consequence of saying this. It may scare you away but it's the truth. Alternative, you should be ready to invest financially in book marketers. We can recommend Sunshine Booksellers. They major in book marketing.
