break into print, publishing agreements, authors’ rights, and how to find resources. The book contains contributions by many distinguished African authors writing about their experience in getting published and their relations with publishers, and there are also several articles providing the publisher’s perspective. Additionally, the book includes a vast array of practical information on, e.g. book prizes and awards, writers’ organizations, magazines, self-publishing, literary agents, book fairs and book launches, together with an annotated directory of publishers with African literature lists, resources for writers on the Internet, an author’s bookshelf, and more. The book is the outcome of an African Writers-Publishers seminar jointly organized by the African Books Collective and the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation held in Arusha, Tanzania, in February 1998. The seminar concluded with a statement issued by participants “Arusha III. A ‘New Deal between African Writers and Publishers”, which is included in the handbook." (Hans M.

"This is probably one of the first training manuals for African publishers to come from an African imprint, and this one – co-published with the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Co-operation ACP-EU – is targeted primarily at NGOs with publishing activities. It aims to equip users with

basic and relevant skills in publishing by first discussing concepts and then providing tips and examples. To reinforce the lessons, a range of exercises follow each chapter. The book contains many useful suggestions, it is attractively designed, has a good range of model forms, and makes effective use of icons to draw attention to new terms, to provide tips and advice, and warn about potential pitfalls. However, one or two chapters are somewhat flawed, particularly the section on electronic publishing." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 2480)
