Selling books out of Zimbabwe - not easy!

'amaBooks, a small publisher from Zimbabwe, is using book2look to get its books seen around the world. It's not an easy task to live in Zimbabwe, let alone produce such remarkable books as Jane Morris and Brian Jones do. They offer young authors a much needed platform to publish their texts and eventually get recognized outside this torn and bleeding country.

Their book2look biblets are getting very good traffic especially in online stores in the UK and in the US. And so their sales through their international distributors have actually increased. For 'amaBooks it is now a lot easier to send samples of their books to all their international contacts.

Just recently a short story by Linda Msebele from the book Long Time Coming has even been translated into German for the winter issue of Literaturnachrichten.

The biblets can be seen at www.book2look.com
