First published on my former podcast, Itan Ife, now republished on Between Us Creatives
In this episode, I sat down with Adesuwa Oman Nwonkedi, a romance author whose stories never fail to leave readers wanting more. We had a wholesome conversation about the realities of being a self-published author in Nigeria — the challenges of getting quality paperback books printed, dealing with piracy websites, and the lack of credible ebook platforms in the country.
We also talked about the importance of building an audience as a new or aspiring author, especially when you’re navigating the self-publishing world on your own. But this conversation isn’t just for authors — it’s for creatives in general. Whether you’re a writer, an artist, or anyone putting your work out into the world, there’s something in this episode for you.
This is part one of a two-part series on self-publishing and resilience.
