BOOKREPUBLIC: CALL FOR BOOKS

BOOKREPUBLIC is inspired by the New York Review Of Books, a New York based magazine of mind boggling and highly intellectual literary essays and book reviews. At BookRepublic we are bent on creating a viable platform for Nigerian books in the world literary stage through our newly constructed website and monthly print medium.
HOW WE PUBLISH
We are the first literary magazine in Nigeria majorly dedicated towards the promotion of our books. As from the fourth Sunday of January 2013, BOOKREPUBLIC will be launching her online magazine and the print medium, come last Sunday of February, 2013.
BOOKREPUBLIC will make it as a matter of mandate to publish literary articles, book reviews, plays, short stories, and poems, update our irresistibly qualitative and educative columns and place book adverts for interested publishers every Sunday for the reading pleasure of our subscribers.
REQUEST FOR BOOKS
We are seeking for a limited number of book titles from interested Publishers to be considered for the review section of the magazine.
A book cover, Author’s bio and About the book should be forwarded to BookRepublic2012@gmail.com on or before the 18th of January, 2013. BookRepublic will afterwards request for copies of the book, if it would be of interest to our commissioned reviewer.
REQUEST FOR LITERARY ESSAYS
BookRepublic is in search for literary essays that are imaginative and at the same time, borders around world literature and its contribution to education. We might also consider creative essays that are politically under toned but not economical with the truth.
ROYALTY
At the moment, we do not pay royalty to our ever hardworking and creative contributors. This will be reviewed in a matter of time.
SUBMISSIONS
Contributions should be forwarded to the publishers at submissions@omojojolo.com. A short bio and recent picture should be submitted alongside the entry.
ADVERT PLACEMENTS
We are interested in publishers’ book placements in our magazine, as it is applicable in developed societies. As a matter of fact, a four page insert has been mapped out for Nigerian publishers and authors to place their blurbs for a paltry sum of N5, 500. For enquiry on book placement in BOOKREPUBLIC and other adverts, please query Alex Olomo at info@omojojolo.com
OUR WEBSITE
BOOKREPUBLIC is presently under construction and will be launched for the reading pleasure of our subscribers, by the last Sunday of January.
