Published Author in Nigeria Needs a Publisher abroad to publish his book?
I am a Nigeria writer with a published work “Mysteries of Benson Street.” I have just finished my secound book and I want it published abroad. I don’t seem to find any reliable publisher except mere printers. I need one that will pick the work, go through it and decide whether or not its worth publishing. Most of them keep talking about paying them to publish. Please if you know how I can get a good one, let me know

Outside the “vanity” press (where you pay for publication,) reputable publishers will generally only accept submissions that come through a literary agent. If an agent thinks your work is publishable, he or she will find a publisher for you. So, your first step is to find an agent in the country or region you’re looking at.
Here’s a short guide to finding a literary agent in the US:
