As an author, you pour your heart and soul into your writing. You spend countless hours crafting your story, developing your characters, and refining your prose. But once you've completed your manuscript, what's next? This is where manuscript evaluation comes in, and it's an essential step that every author should consider.

A manuscript evaluation involves having a professional editor or literary agent review your work and provide feedback on its strengths and weaknesses. This feedback can help you identify areas that need improvement and provide guidance on how to take your work to the next level.

One of the most significant benefits of manuscript evaluation is that it can help you identify issues with your story's structure, pacing, and plot. These are essential elements of any successful book, and getting them right can make the difference between a mediocre book and a great one. A manuscript evaluation can help you identify areas where your story may be dragging, where you may be losing your readers' attention, or where you may need to tighten your plot to keep things moving.

Another benefit of manuscript evaluation is that it can help you improve your writing style and technique. A professional editor can help you identify areas where your writing may be weak and provide suggestions on how to strengthen it. This feedback can be invaluable, especially if you're a new author who is still developing your craft.

Manuscript evaluation can also help you understand your target audience better. A professional editor or literary agent can provide feedback on whether your story is likely to resonate with your intended audience. This feedback can help you make adjustments to your story to better appeal to your target readership.

Finally, a manuscript evaluation can help you increase your chances of getting published. Literary agents and publishers receive countless submissions every day, and having a well-polished manuscript can help yours stand out in the crowd. By getting feedback from a professional editor or agent, you can improve your manuscript's chances of catching the attention of a publisher or literary agent.

In conclusion, manuscript evaluation is a crucial step in the writing process for any author. It can help you identify areas that need improvement, improve your writing style and technique, understand your target audience better, and increase your chances of getting published. By investing in manuscript evaluation, you're investing in the success of your writing career.

Tips on designing a book cover

Designing a book cover has never been easier.
With the help of online resources, as well as freelance graphic designers and even online tools that offer book design services, the possibilities can be endless.

One of the most exciting things when it comes to publishing your book is having your book cover designed – and I bet you’re eager to rush into it! However there are a few things you should take into consideration before going full speed ahead. You might of spent up to years or decades writing this book, so why rush into the cover design process? These next few questions should make it easier to design the cover of your dreams

1. What will appeal to my target audience?
Take into consideration that the way you have written your story for a specific audience – you should apply similar values to your book cover design, as this allows the audience to immediately identify with the work. Consider what images, typography and composition styles that will resonate with your readers. A book that is based on personal health and nutrition may attract readers with images that relate to the benefits of exercise, which gives the reader a feeling of ‘you can do it too – if you buy this book’. Another example could be using an image of a government building, or smart vector graphics if your book is about politics or business. A great way to get started is to do your market research – have a look to see what sells in your genre, and what doesn’t. This doesn’t necessarily mean copy other author’s ideas, but more to get a feel for what drives a readers interest.

2. What style of imagery will reflect my story most?
Choosing an image to use on your cover is a daunting task. There are multiple styles of imagery you can use on your cover – the most important being photographic, illustrative or vector based. Non-fiction have less opportunity to play around with imagery as its much more literal – where as fictional books have more opportunity to be abstract and expressive. This isn’t to say both can fall into either category. You will know more than anyone what style of image will convey the tone you are trying to get across, so keep your options open for different styles – illustration can open a whole new world of imagination to the reader. Do some research in your local library and see what style of imagery are popular and which aren’t.

You may have to rely upon stock imagery if you cannot afford an illustrator or photographer – this isn’t necessarily a negative as with most stock image websites they hold millions of images, which means that the image you choose is less likely to be seen on another cover. Another problem with this though is that depending on the popularity of the image it may have been used before – however this is a rarity – do your research and

3. What will make my book stand out above the rest in its genre?
To appeal to your target readers you want your book to look similar in style to others in its genre, as then readers will be drawn to your cover. However, you don’t want to blend in with the rest of the bookshelf – you want to stand out. Designing your cover at thumbnail size helps to give you the eye for having maximum impact, even from a far distance. Another method is to take your book cover design a step further than most by avoiding genre-generic images, using an image that will bring intrigue and draw a reader in wanting to know more. An example of this would be using an image of an empty staircase for a psychological thriller – take a look at these examples. Think outside the box.
4. How do I want to be represented as an author?
As your reader will know more about your book cover then your book’s first paragraph, it’s a great opportunity to show your uniqueness. Your will have a never-ending relationship with your cover as you’re the author, so you need to make sure you are confident with its message and tone.

5. What style of font do I want to use?
As your book cover design will be a combination of elements that makes it the pièce de résistance, you need to make sure every little detail is perfect. This is why the typography you use matters – not only does it give detail into what your book’s genre is or what it entails, but it also gives off a sense of professionalism above other covers who have not considered typography well. When choosing your font, go for one that brings excitement to your cover or adds to the feel of it as opposed to choosing one which is boring in terms of style and the only real purpose its serving is to be legible.

The Autobiography is a personal account of Alfonso Mosquito Zvenyika’s life, beginning with his birth in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 1975.

Zvenyika's personal account is a powerful and poignant testimony of the struggles that many families face in impoverished communities. The story describes the harsh realities of poverty, including the lack of basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter, as well as the emotional toll it takes on individuals and families. The point of realization came at a young age when he realized that the life his family was living was not adding up and was not what a child expects from a home. Despite the challenges, Zvenyika remained determined to fight for a better life for himself and his family.

This account highlights the dangers of making wrong choices in life. He started stealing to provide for his mother and ended up committing serious crimes, including stealing dogs and car tires, and even breaking into people's homes. These actions were driven by a desperate need to survive and provide for his family. The story is a cautionary tale of how wrong turns and bad choices can lead to a life of crime and hardship

Zvenyika's mother recognized the importance of education and tried to provide her son with opportunities, but circumstances made it difficult for him to succeed academically. However, the story also shows the power of second chances and the ability to turn one's life around. Despite his troubled past, he went on to become a successful athlete and a respected member of his community.

He began boxing by participating in street fights called Wafa Wafa, where people would gather to watch fights between those who were confident enough to fight. Despite being small, Zvenyika gained recognition for their fighting skills and was given the nickname Mosquito. Although initially annoyed by the name, he eventually embraced it and became a fighter. Wafa Wafa was a fierce and scary playground, but it helped to harden him as a fighter.

Mosquito's interest in boxing career was sparked by his brother's friend, who introduced him to Stodart Boxing Academy. His brother, Norman, also supported him in his boxing career. He won his first armature fight representing the Red Devils at Morris Depot, which was the first step to being a champion. In 1992, he began training with Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) . Mosquito won local championships and represented Zimbabwe. His mother became seriously ill during this time and passed away after encouraging him to win.

After the passing of his mother, He returned to boxing and won his fight. He had an unbeaten record of 17 fights as an amateur, but he decided to turn professional after attending a boxing tournament sponsored by Condo-mart in 1993. Despite criticism from others, he pursued his dream of becoming a professional boxer.

Mosquito got an opportunity to get a fight in Australia which was a major turning point in his boxing career. Despite facing resistance from the then manager, he got assistance from his trainer to access sponsorship and the trainer had organized everything for him since he had been in Australia before he had the necessary connections to up Mosquito’s career. His experience in training and fights were spectacular. Homesick shortened the honeymoon if the boxer in Australia as he always wanted to celebrate his fights with people back home, he then insisted to come back home which ended his Australian contract.

The return never came to be a celebration as he thought since media was bashing him from left right and centre and this led him into drugs due to depression. The passion he had for boxing made it worse to the point of burning his boxing books and kits. His come back from this depression was eye-catching as he had to fight drunk and managed to win that fight without even training for some time.
Mosquito reconciled with his manager and he got another chance to pursue his boxing career. At this come back that’s when he won the Bandam Weight Title as well as the one that made him the Legend of Zimbabwe, The Common Wealth Title which he managed to defend twice and it is believed that its only him in Zimbabwean boxing history who defended the title twice.

The Autobiography enlightens us with the ups and downs of the champion, his passion and how he is also helping children to leave drugs trying to rehabilitate them through introducing them to boxing. Boxing rehabilitated him from being a criminal and he believes that a lot of Zimbabweans can also pursue it as a career and run away from poverty and became brands through fighting. the book ends on a note where he highlights his dream of making his boxing academy a success and being in a position of helping a number of people have a better life which he might have failed to attain during his pick moments.

Overcoming Writer's Block

Writer's block can be a frustrating experience for any writer, but there are several strategies you can use to overcome it. Here are some tips to help you get past writer's block:

1. Take a Break: Sometimes taking a break from writing can help you clear your mind and come back to your writing with fresh ideas. Take a walk, do some exercise, or engage in any activity that gets you away from your writing for a little while.

2. Freewrite: Freewriting is a technique where you write continuously for a set amount of time without worrying about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. This can help you generate new ideas and get past any mental blocks you may be experiencing.

3. Change Your Environment: Sometimes a change of scenery can help you break through writer's block. Try writing in a new location, such as a coffee shop, park, or library.

4. Set Small Goals: Instead of setting a large goal, break your writing task into smaller, more achievable goals. This can help you feel less overwhelmed and make it easier to get started.

5. Use Prompts: Writing prompts can be a helpful tool to get your creative juices flowing. You can find writing prompts online or create your own.

6. Write at Your Best Time: Some people are morning writers, while others are night owls. Figure out what time of day you are most productive and make that your designated writing time.

7. Eliminate Distractions: Turn off your phone, close your email, and eliminate any other distractions that may be preventing you from writing.

Remember, writer's block is a common experience for many writers. Don't be too hard on yourself, and keep trying different strategies until you find what works best for you.

Nervous Conditions
by Tsitsi Dangarembwa

Nervous Conditions makes an attempt at portraying the complexity of the situation for women operating in a post-colonial environment; educated or not, Anglicized or traditional, rich or poor, married or single, each of the women in narrator Tambudzai’s life is oppressed in some way, and each resists in her own way, even when resisting one form of oppression means capitulating to another. Without ignoring the heterogeneity and intersection of all forms of oppression, Dangarembga allows each of her female characters a psychological complexity that does not skirt problematic viewpoints; she presents a continuum of resistance tactics to accompany her continuum of experiences.

Once you allow yourself to identify with the people in a story, then you might begin to see yourself in that story even if on the surface it’s far removed from your situation. This is what I try to tell my students: this is one great thing that literature can do – it can make us identify with situations and people far away.

Writing to Women searching for messages that include humour and hope that speak to today's challenges by pointing to God's Word. I think Women need to laugh, be loved, valued and influenced by God's Word because life is full of challenges and also need to find out how to love in the middle of relationship struggles, difficult choices and hidden fears. Women are longing for authenticity and practical strategies for living out their faith.

Born in Highfields a black township in Harare, Zimbabwe, Professor Frederick Kasese 's story, told in hindsight, is a proverbial tale of the rise from the dust to grace and not a stroll in a ready made terrain of comfort. The oppressive machinations of the colonial epoch of his time, coupled with the underdog tag due to the non-native roots of his parents, instead of pulling him down, actually activated and galvanized his ingenuity, propelling him to great heights. It is, indeed, an understatement to describe him as a multi-talented polymath and prodigy, a man of many hats for his cumulative work is a rare combination of spiritual, business and academic proficiency. The man’s long list of educational certificates mirrors an appetite for learning and flexing brain cells that is so gargantuan and contagious.

A closer scrutiny at the cisterns from which Prof Kasese has gulped the cool waters of knowledge will reflect that in his veins flows a nourished sea, well equilibrated by osmo-regulation. This is reflected in that; he went through academic learning for cognition and critical thinking abilities during the content areas of his Bachelor’s degrees and during the mind-stretching exertions of not one but two Doctor of Philosophy degrees while the Theology and Charismatic Bible Studies helped mould his heart to what it is today where he lives the teachings of Christ through his selfless generosity and sensitivity to the cries of the less privileged and the broken hearted.

Prof Kasese has won several local business awards plus two international business awards. He is a devoted philanthropist. He was conferred the title “Beacon of Philanthropy” He sits and chairs several Boards and committees both in the academic and business fraternities. Professor Kasese is truly an inspiration to many people in Zimbabwe.
