The number one thought that haunts most new authors is that how they’re going to get their book published. Unlike the established famous authors who have a long line of publishing companies ready at their doorstep to publish their books, newbie authors are still finding their way about the literary world, and so might face difficulty in finding suitable publishers in Nigeria to get their book published and launched in the market. If you’re an author struggling with the worry of finding good book publishers for your project, follow below tips to get ahead of this problem: 1. Research Your Way Into Book Publishing Even though you’re a new author, you should still be selective about the publishers in Nigeria that you send your book to for review. The publisher should be someone who is relevant to the subject that you’re writing your book on. The idea is to find a publishing company that’s a right fit for your book, and not sign up with just about any company that makes you an offer. 2. Think About Your Ideal Book Publishing Deal Be clear about what you expect out of your deal with the publisher. Book sales is obviously one of the main targets, but what else? Do you want the publishing company to help you with local and international marketing of your book? Are you looking to land a future book writing deal with the publisher? Think about the different ways partnering up with a publishing company can help your career as a writer. 3. Prepare a Rocking Pitch Letter Have a rocking pitch letter ready to send to the book publishers. Treat your pitch letter as something that gives quick yet meaningful insight into your book. A concise and relevant pitch letter can quickly pique the interest of the publishing companies. Whereas a lengthy and boring pitch letter can just as easily turn off the interest of the publishers. So make sure that your pitch letter is like a smart and brief introduction to your book. Don’t forget to proofread your letter to ensure that there are no spelling and grammar mistakes anywhere as these mistakes can leave a bad impression on the book publishers.

4. Be Ready to Hear Suggestions The book publishers that you send your manuscript to might have some different ideas than yours about how the book should be like. They might suggest you to make certain changes in the book to make it more likeable by the readers. Be receptive to these suggested changes and ideas and see if they can be accommodated into the book without compromising with its integrity. 5. Never Lose Confidence due to Rejections Don’t let the rejections bother you too much as it’s all a part of the process. Always keep the bigger picture in mind. Keep working on refining your book and finding good publishers in Nigeria who understand the true worth of your book. Your consistency and hard work will definitely pay off some day.
