Who is a book publisher?

Last Updated: July 4, 2024By

What do you do? Do you sell books? What do you guys do?

Well, I must admit it felt funny responding to these kinds of questions, but truth be told, about twenty years ago I was not able to differentiate between a book publisher and an author. To me, the two were the same thing. An author was a publisher, and a publisher was an author, which was not and is not true.

When you talk about a book publisher you are referring to a company whose role is to make books and ensure they are availed to readers. An author is a writer whose book has been published and is available to readers either as a printed copy or an electronic copy.

African Ink Publishers Ltd is a revolutionary publishing company poised to revive African Literature, promote authors and help preserve our diverse cultural heritage. Our work is to publish/make books, print hard copies and bind them, and distribute and inform readers about their availability.

We have helped thousands of writers across and beyond Africa to publish, print and distribute their books globally. We believe it is our collective responsibility to revive and promote African Literature. When we work as a team, we will help bridge the gap between authors and readers. Join our community in this cause of action.
