FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How are the works going to be published?
The Anthology will be the flagship of an NS imprint using a print-on-demand model that will make Nigerian authors available through most of the major global book distributors. We will also be talking with a Nigerian based publisher to get books widely available locally. The anthology will also be released through Smashwords.com, Amazon Kindle, Barnes&Noble Nook, and directly on Naijastories.com as various formats of eBooks.
How much will the book cost in the different formats?
The editors will try to keep the book below 70k words so we can get an affordable pricing. Tentative price is $14.99/12GBP/N2000 for the paperback. Ebook will be $4.99/3.50GBP/N700
Who owns the rights?
The author retains copyright, and NS Publishing has exclusive anthology rights for one year after publication. After that time, they will be able to do with the story as they please.
How much will authors be paid?
We’re offering no advance to authors but a royalty of 20% of the book’s list price pro-rated on the number of words in their individual selected stories, as well as discounted pricing on any copies purchased. Payment will be made three times in a year.
Who decided the order of the stories?
The stories were listed in random.
Who decided which stories were selected, the book cover, and other details?
The NS editorial team had final say on every detail. We received advice and reviews from published authors and NS friends.
What will be expected of the selected writers?
They will help in promoting the anthology
What ws the timeframe from submission to publication?
We had the following tentative timeframe and are so far sticking to it.
- July – Submissions and Nominations
- August/September – Editor’s Selections
- October – Authors Sign Contracts
- November / December – Editing
- January – Submission to Publisher
- February – Proofing
- March 2012 – Book Published and on sale
Will there be other Anthologies?
This is intended as the first of a series. All things being equal, we’ll be calling for submissions for the next volume by June.
What can I do as an NS member not included in the anthology?
We’ll like a review from you or your blogger/journalist friends. Please request a copy of the anthology and send related questions to anthology@naijastories.com
