Author Journey Navigation
Navigate through each stage of your publishing and post-publishing journey with clarity, order, and purpose.
Your Book is Now Published – Share It with the World!
Congratulations, Author! You’ve done the hard work—now it’s time to make your book known, accessible, and celebrated. At CLC Kenya, we walk with you from printing to platform building. You are on step 03 of an Author’s Journey!
Post-Publishing Support for Authors
A comprehensive, faith-grounded support framework designed to ensure your book is launched, protected, visible, accessible, and responsibly concluded.
Publishing a book is an act of obedience; supporting it after publication is an act of stewardship. This support is structured to walk with authors beyond the manuscript, ensuring every book is well-positioned to serve readers, honour God, and stand the test of time.
1. eLaunch on Facebook
We facilitate a structured and celebratory digital launch that introduces your book to readers with clarity and purpose.
- Create a Facebook Event — A dedicated event page is created to announce the book, consolidate promotions, and invite your community into the launch experience.
- Do a Virtual Meeting — A live virtual launch session where the author shares the heart of the book, engages readers, answers questions, and officially presents the work.
2. Author’s Webpage
Every author deserves a credible digital home that reflects their calling and work.
- Create a webpage for the author on the ACABA website — A dedicated author page hosted on the ACABA platform.
- Upload interview questions and answers (one post) — A curated interview allowing readers to understand your journey, inspiration, and the message behind the book.
- Upload 3D mockups — Professionally presented 3D book visuals for visual appeal, marketing use, and online sharing.
3. Certificates
We connect you to the legal and bibliographic foundations that protect and legitimise your work.
- Facilitate copyrighting — Guidance and administrative support to ensure your intellectual property is properly protected.
- Facilitate KNLS submission — Assistance with submission to the Kenya National Library Service (KNLS), ensuring compliance with national deposit requirements.
- Published Author Certificate — Issued upon successful publication, affirming your status as a published author.
- Certificate of Completion — Confirms that the full publishing process has been completed under our guidance.
4. eCommerce Set Up
We help your book move efficiently from shelf to reader.
- Facilitate kenyaclc.org, africanauthors.net, mabb.kenyaclc.org — Listing and setup support on trusted platforms.
- Nuria — Facilitation of access to Nuria for broader digital commerce reach.
5. eBook Set Up
Digital availability ensures your book travels where you cannot physically go.
- AfricanBooks.com — eBook setup and listing to increase discoverability.
- CLC eBooks — Inclusion to reach faith-based digital readers.
6. Visibility
Because a book hidden is a voice unheard.
- Read With Me: Join a cohort — Guided entry into a cohort for communal reading, discussion, and organic promotion.
- ACABA: Join a cohort — Participation for peer support, shared visibility, and sustained engagement.
7. Exit Meeting
- Attend Exit Meeting with Publishing Team — A formal closure meeting to review deliverables, clarify next steps, and prayerfully release the book into its long-term assignment.
