ABOUT BOOK STORM PROJECT
Book Storm is a bold and ambitious home-grown initiative which aims to reinvigorate the Nigerian publishing ecosystem that produces reading materials for young readers in Nigeria. Young Nigerians from a range of disciplines will receive guidance and training in the art of writing, illustrating, editing, graphic designing and literary agenting for the publication of children’s books. This will in turn build capacity and create opportunities for the next generation of young ones in the publishing industry. Our goal is to produce one hundred well edited, high quality children’s picture books before the end of 2027.
