SUMMARY:NYrobi Book Fest: Discussion
DESCRIPTION:12-2pm | Multimedia Library\n\nWith Munira Hussein\, author and
  blogger (The Contemporary Nomad)\; shortlisted for the African Writers Awa
 rd in 2018\; Eunniah Mbabazi\; six times published author and a certified e
 ditor\; Vincent de Paul\; writer and founder of Mystery Publishers\; and O
 dhiambo Kaumah\; poet and creative writer.\n \nModerated by Eric Rugara\; 
 host of the literary show Conversations in Literature on YouTube and author
  of ‘A Surreal Journey of Discovery’.\n \nModelled on the 1962 Makerer
 e Conference on African literature in the English language - if not impact\
 , at least in spirit.  We revolutionised publishing by taking the bull by 
 the horns and venturing into self publishing.  We used the internet to giv
 e ourselves a voice and a market\, we created book clubs and some of us wen
 t ahead to create bookshops\, we have identified the gaps in the publishing
  market space and have taken the initiative to fill them. All this has been
  unstructured\, leaderless\, spontaneous and voluntary\, like most revoluti
 ons. But perhaps it’s now time to start thinking strategically - what can
  we do to make self publishing sustainable?
