According to his website he refers to himself as a "publisher, trainer, coach, and speaker".[1] WordAlive Publishers was founded in September 2001.[2] David Waweru has been active in advocating for a strong and vibrant local publishing industry and reading culture in East Africa. In interviews with Nation TV[3] and Business Daily,[4] David alludes that though the Kenyan book trade has faced major challenges in the last couple of years, the market will recover. Museum of Learning[5] indicates David Waweru saw a need in Trade and Christian publishing that few were willing risk investment in due to a perceived poor reading culture in most of sub-Saharan Africa. In an article titled, "A Literary Contribution to Healing"[6] in the Daily Nation, David Waweru said "We cannot always complain about a poor reading culture," he said. "It is up to us to expand the horizons and give people what they want to read." The Christian Marketplace[7] quoted David as saying that "there is potential for indigenous writers and publishers" during the release of Eyo, by Nigerian writer Abidemi Sanusi. In an article "Publisher Keeps the Word Alive" by Business Daily,[8] David talked about ingenuity in promoting Africa authors through events like author tours, book signings, launches and a consistent author branding programme. Events, dubbed BookTalkAfrica have already been held in Nairobi and Kampala where people queued waiting to speak to their favourite authors.[9] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.davidwaweru.com | title=David Waweru | publisher=David Waweru | date=29 May 2011 | accessdate=30 May 2011}} 2. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.nation.co.ke/magazines/lifestyle/-/1214/501510/-/item/1/-/139ivvtz/-/index.html | title=Publisher proves critics wrong | publisher=Nation Media | work=Daily Nation | date=13 December 2008 | accessdate=2011-05-30 | last=Ngunjiri | first=Joseph | location=Nairobi, Kenya}} 3. ^{{cite video | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufW7XmOZ5DI | title=Tough year for local publishers | publisher=Nation Media | work=NTV Kenya | date=24 December 2009 | accessdate=31 May 2011 | author=Nation Media}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/-/539444/842178/-/t1oh69/-/index.html | title=Publishers face lean times as competition and government cutbacks eat into their returns | publisher=Nation Media Group | work=Business Daily | date=14 January 2010 | accessdate=31 May 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.museumstuff.com/learn/topics/WordAlive_Publishers::sub::History | title=WordAlive Publishers: History | publisher=Museum of Learning | accessdate=31 May 2011}} 6. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.nation.co.ke/magazines/lifestyle/-/1214/462448/-/9dxmxyz/-/index.html | title=A Literary Contribution to Healing | work=Daily Nation | date=23 August 2008 | accessdate=31 May 2011 | author=JOSEPH NGUNJIRI | location=Nairobi, Kenya}} 7. ^{{cite journal | url=http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1myig/ChristianMarketplace/resources/12.htm | title=Kenyan Publisher to Publish fiction book by Christian author | journal=Christian Marketplace |date=March 2010 | volume=V9 | issue=03 | pages=12}} 8. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/-/539444/823754/-/view/printVersion/-/12mjgf6/-/index.html | title=Publisher keeps the written word alive | work=Business Daily | date=17 December 2009 | accessdate=31 May 2011 | author=Abyssinia Lati | location=Nairobi, Kenya}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.sundayvisionuganda.info/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=7&newsCategoryId=525&newsId=693668 |title=Readers interact with authors |work=Sunday Vision |date=5 September 2009 |accessdate=31 May 2011 |author=Esther Namugoji |location=Kampala, Uganda |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100821160807/http://www.sundayvisionuganda.info/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=7&newsCategoryId=525&newsId=693668 |archivedate=21 August 2010 |df=dmy }} External links
