In celebration of the World Book and Copyright Day, held on the 23rd of April, 2018, Nimi Akinkugbe took to her Instagram page to share tips to writing a successful book.
World Book Day
The World Book Day is a day set aside to celebrate reading, authors, illustrators and books. A day recognized by the UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, in order to advance the reading culture and promote publishing and copyright.
Nimi Akinkugbe, who is a Nigerian Finance Expert and is known Money Matters With Nimi, advises potential authors.
In her words
“Have you had a book idea in your head for years, even penned down some thoughts down but can’t seem to get anywhere? What is it? Procrastination? Inertia? Call it what you will! Here are some tips: ___ JUST START This sounds obvious, but the key is to just start writing. Decide first what you’re going to write about and how you’re going to write it. ___ ALLOCATE TIME Planning ahead and scheduling time into your day helps you stay focused. Once you start writing, you will face self-doubt and feel overwhelmed; Cheerleaders help here! ___ EXECUTION Nobody cares about the book that you ALMOST wrote. We want to read the finished product! What makes you an author is not your ability to start a book project, but to complete it. ___ I am grateful for the gift of writing, that makes it possible for me to formulate my thoughts and ideas into a meaningful written form. I hope that the words that I share give you knowledge and guidance in your financial life. ___ I look forward to reading your book”
Adepeju Adenuga is a writer (considering where you are reading this, makes perfect sense). She holds a Masters Degree in Literature in English from the University of Lagos.

The World Book Day is a perfect chance for the authors to meet and exchange their experience too. During the second conference in Berlin (which was dedicated to the famous modern paper writers), I had to announce a public speech and then communicated with more than hundred writers from various countries (England, China, Australia, etc.). I’d never been so excited to listen to their stories of becoming authors, of writing their first draft.
