When I first shared the link of my ebook Dear God: Selected Poems (2016), I was
humbled by the amazing response it received. But perhaps what was more humbling
is this - that a good number of you
wrote personally to me, and some of you even called, to not only wish me well
but to give me suggestions as to how you felt this enterprise could best be
undertaken.
Two things stood out.
A good number of you asked to be sent the “hardcopy”
book. And yet another good number asked whether they could get a PDF version of
the anthology.
Of course you raised more issues. Those familiar
with publishing asked whether the royalties were justified. You asked, “Why
should you get 30% of 30% of the sales when the work belongs to you?” I think it’s
from such concerns that some of you wondered why I haven’t considered starting
my own publishing firm!
I hear you, good friends.
I have considered your suggestions and agree with
you in totality. I have managed to have the work converted into PDF format. I
believe this is a good starting point.
At Kshs. 200, I have priced it a tad below the
average price you had recommended. If you would like a copy, kindly get in
touch with me on:

I am still working on the other suggestions you
gave and I will come back to you once the ball has started rolling. In the
meantime, get in touch and get a copy!
Cheers!
