Work News:
Earlier this week, Nigerian artists (4 from each geo-political zone) started online classes with tutors from the Mimaster School of Illustration, Milan @Mimaster_Illo.
Grateful to @BoChildrensBook & @EUinNigeria for supporting @bookbuzzNG’s goal of training 48 talented Nigerian youth to write / illustrate children’s books that will speak to the next generation.
Our aim is to publish 20 high quality, culturally relevant children’s books for Nigerian shelves and the global market.
Very excited about this cool project!

If you’re looking for free books, try Project Gutenberg. It hosts over 75,000 public domain classics that can be downloaded legally. Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, etc. Great way to read widely without resorting to piracy.
Support African writers, publishers and booksellers. Stop piracy and IP theft. Those of you distributing/ selling pdf files of our books, change your ways so that you do not lose something precious to you.
