New Fiction series for ‘Generation Y’

We are happy to announce the launch of a new fiction series for young adults for the Nigerian market. To be called ‘G-Y ’, the series is targeted at the ‘Generation Y’ – young adults who grew up in the era of flat screen TVs, Internet, Blackberry and Facebook. A key aim of the series is to help bring back the lost culture of reading books among young adults by exploring themes, in slim novellas, that will be of interest to them. Older people who are ‘young at heart’ will also find the series compelling.
In the 1980s and 1990s, McMillan’s Pacesetters and Longman’s Drumbeat series did their best to help inculcate pride in reading books by engendering a sort of competition among young adults on who has read what among the series. Our aim is to continue from where these highly respected publishers stopped.

Authors welcome

Interested authors who want to publish in the series should send a synopsis of their work (maximum word count: 1000) and a sample chapter. Each completed work must be between 20,000 and 30,000 words. For enquiries, email: [email protected]
