| Publication Policy |
| |
The SLWS will publish first-time
and established authors.
The SLWS will commission the writing of manuscripts for textbooks
to be used in Sierra Leone.
The SLWS will focus on books that have the potential to be included
in the school/training college/university curricula as textbooks.
It is therefore imperative that all books undergo a rigorous
but helpful peer-review process.
When the SLWS commissions the writing of a manuscript, it will
provide the necessary support to the author(s) and will pay
a royalty to the author based on the conditions of the publishing company, Africa
Future Publishers, a subsidiary of Mallam O. & J. Enterprises.
The SLWS will consider unsolicited manuscripts in all
subject areas from authors
wishing to publish in the series. However, such authors
will be required to pay a subvention towards the
publication of their books. The amount to be paid as subvention
depends on the size of the book, the specific format and design
wished by the author and the number of author's copies required.
Please visit the Africa
Future Publishers for a sample contract. |

| Important Note For Authors |
| |
| You may be aware
that in terms of sales of books, especially novels, the number
of people who can buy them in Sierra Leone is very small. The SLWS will do its best to ensure that
your book is widely read by your own people! If you are a first-time
author, we must caution you against expecting to make a lot of money
from your work. Established authors know that most times what
you earn from your writing, especially from the Sieera Leone market, will be peanuts compared with your salary
or other sources of income. We would encourage you to evaluate
your rewards of authorship in personal, psychological terms. |
