Nigeria has really had her own crop of prize winning writers from Chinua Achebe to Chimamanda Adichie. These are writers whose works have been recognized around the world even in their lifetime. These skilled writers have what it takes to carry the audience on a well guided tour of their world. One thing about their work is that it was on a paper platform which is customary for writers. But as our world is developing, there is a growing pedigree of writers who ought not to be ignored just because they are not customary writers. I'm talking about bloggers and I rightly refer to them as the new writers. If indeed the internet is the way of the future, then bloggers are the new writers. Their work influences the hearts and minds of people who visit the web and these are mostly young people. Bloggers are determining how people interact with the web, where they go and what they do while online.
A lot of Bloggers have a lot of written work they've published on the internet but it is only a few of them who have republished some of their works as books.
