@NoisyStreetss is doing amazing work. Our retailers called that our clients' book had sold out across their stores and would be needing more copies. Her book had already been completely distributed from our warehouse to Nigerian and Ghanaian retailers.
Interesting article. Perhaps the most nuanced I have seen since the ‘book influencer Vs publisher’ debate started. “They Know It Works, They Don’t Just Want to Pay for It” https://t.co/wEuxq1Tks7 via @NoisyStreetss
Reading without Metrics: Mapping Genre Trends in African Readership.
A look at foresenic method of readership tracking is when there’s no articulate architecture tracking it, no numbers to lean on, and no clear “trends”… or so it seems.

Please RT for writers looking for publishing opportunities! Love in Detty December is @NoisyPublishing's annual storytelling series celebrating love during Africa’s most electric season. We want stories that explore the full spectrum of romance — deep, transformative connections and fleeting infatuations; traditional relationships and unconventional expressions of love; romantic love, platonic love, and the love between family. What does it mean to be in love in December in Africa? Think beyond jollof-filled parties, clubs, IJGBs, beaches, Lagos, ‘chaos’, and ‘mess.’ Consider December in a small city in Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, or Kenya. Tell us ghost stories. Stories about gods. Arranged marriages, all Christmas-themed, of course! The best submissions will be the ones that could only have been written by you, about us. Writers will be paid contribution fee & royalties! Read the call for submissions here:

I’ve got A LOT to say about this. I wrote about it for @brittlepaper From an essentialist perspective African writers often write romance through western gaze because they assume western ideals of love are universal or essential to a successful human experience. This also leads to a belief that commercial success can only be achieved by meeting western standards. I would love to hear from more romantic writers and romance lovers in general. What is loving in the African way?
Highlights from our writers’ workshop! Huge thanks to host & facilitators @du_peee, @AdesuwaNwokedi & @TomilolaCoco for a great evening, & every writer who joined us! Call for Submissions for Love in Detty December Vol. 4 is OPEN! We pay contributors a fee & lifetime royalties.
