I did a little editing of poems for a guy. He told a man around the neighbourhood about me. Incidentally, the said man is also working on some books. He called me and asked me to help check some of those books, help with the editing part. We picked one of those books which seemed more important and has better prospects. The book is an autobiography of a serving house of Rep member in the Federal House of Reps. I checked out the book and I literally crossed it. I suggested we do a totally new work. I got a new title for the book and wrote a different introduction. He took the new one to the Hon. member in Abuja who, at the sight of the title, fell in love with the idea. He read the introduction and commended the work, however, he said we need to work on the other part. He gave us additional matterials to guid us.
Like I pointed out to my friend, the Hon. member suggested we do a new work in line with the title and the introduction. We hope to get the manuscript ready by this month end.
My little hitch now is, who's gonna be the author of this book? The Hon. member doesn't know about me. If you were in my shoes, what will you do? WHO SHOULD BE THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK? Pals, I trust your counsel on this..!
