Before a book can be certified published, it needs an International Standard Book Number (ISBN). This unique 13-digit code is your book’s official identification, allowing it to be tracked and distributed globally. So, how do you apply for ISBN in 2024 from Nigeria? Here’s a comprehensive guide to navigating the process.
The Nigerian ISBN Agency
The National Library of Nigeria (NLN) is the designated ISBN agency for the country. They are responsible for assigning ISBNs to publications originating in Nigeria. This means you don’t have to deal with international organisations – applying for ISBN 2024 can be done entirely in Nigeria.
Eligibility for Applying for ISBN 2024
The good news is that most types of publications are eligible for an ISBN, including self-published works. However, some exceptions exist, like brochures or pamphlets with limited content. The NLN website provides a detailed list of eligible publications.
Pricing for Applying for ISBN 2024 (as of April 2024):
