A Junior Secondary School student from St. Peter Catholic Private College in Abeokuta, Ogun State, shared her journey as a budding author in an interview with Penpushing Media. She began writing at age four and was inspired by the works of Wole Soyinka, which fueled her desire to become an author. Encouraged by her primary school teacher, Miss Soleye, she started writing in primary school. Now in secondary school, she is working on additional books alongside her first publication, “Whispers and Whispers,” which explores deep themes of human nature. The young author is seeking support from figures like Prof. Wole Soyinka and various organizations to help realize her literary ambitions. The book, printed in Nigeria, includes a note on copyright rights and emphasizes her identity as the author in accordance with copyright laws.
