That's cool unlike a publishing firm at computer village that specializes in cheating authors.

fratermathy:
Kraft Books, Ibadan, is also good, especially for creative writers.

buchilino:

Punctual:

Anyone that knows anything about Nigerian literature and publishing wouldn't even mention Macmilian, Evans, Longman, etc. Those publishers killed Nigerian literature. They focused on the business part and ruined the art of writing in Nigeria. They are thousands of creative writers out there with amazing books waiting to be published, but these old publishing houses aren't even ready to invest in these young writers and save Nigerian literature. Rather they go after the 'established' writers and 'rich' writers they could rip off to publish their average works. When was the last time these old publishing houses supported or hosted any Literature event/award show? Most these old publishers are foreign firms ripping off Nigerians in the name of publishing their wOrks. This list might not be that accurate, but these publishers are the new publishing houses ready to invest in new writers and make people (especially kids) go back to reading books.

2. CassavaRepublic Press
www.cassavarepublic.biz
This is what Cassava Republic Press' refreshing
and engaging website have to say about the
intecontinental brand:
We set up Cassava Republic in 2006, after a
few years of contemplation and planning.
African writers were being increasingly
published and read overseas, with little
knowledge or availability of this new wave of
talent in Nigeria. The conversation about
African writing was taking place elsewhere.
Something had to be done.
Seven years later, we are a small but
established publishing brand, with a reputation
for bringing out high quality fiction and non-
fiction for adults and children alike.
Our mission is to change the way we all think
about African writing. We think that
contemporary African prose should be rooted in
African experience in all its diversity, whether
set in filthy-yet-sexy megacities such as Lagos
or Kinshasa, in little-known rural communities,
in the recent past or indeed the near future. We
also think the time has come to build a new
body of African writing that links writers across
different times and spaces.
It's therefore the right time to ask challenging
questions of African writing - where have we
come from, where are we now, where are we
going? Our role is to facilitate and participate in
addressing these questions, as our list grows.
We are still just beginning.
Good job, Cassava Republic.

1 Bookcraft Limited
A friend of mine was saying the other day that
Wole Soyinka must have bought a larger
percentage of Bookcraft Limited since the
company publishes all of his latest titles.
BOOKCRAFT has done well for themselves and
the publishing industry, providing upcoming
publishing houses the necessary template.What
we like about the company? If there is one thing
we are eulogizing the firm for, it is their taste of
quality which exudes in the packaging and
presentation of all of their titles.
Established in Nigeria over twenty years ago,
BOOKCRAFT has published a large number of
titles in a wide variety of subjects art;
biography; history; literature; politics; current
affairs; for a growing market of discerning,
sophisticated and well educated bibliophiles.
BOOKCRAFT has over the years established a
distinctive presence in the book market, the
uniquely-packaged, reader-friendly design of
our books, quickly becoming an instantly
recognizable trademark. Well done,
BOOKCRAFT.Congratulations.
