Cassava Republic Press is a new literary press based in Abuja, Nigeria. Our core objective is to make quality contemporary literature available to the West African market at an affordable price. 

We will provide Nigerians and other West Africans access to the best diasporic writing, as well as to discover, encourage, promote and publish new writing on the continent.  Beyond unearthing new talent, there is a pedagogical component to our work.  As well as organising writing tours for our authors, we also offer writer’s workshops and retreats in schools.  

In addition to fiction and non-fiction, we will also be publishing a range of books for children.  We are highly aware of the lack of material with an African focus that is of good quality.  We believe that seeing oneself and one’s own culture and society reflected in beautifully made children’s books is a vital component in instilling confidence and self-belief in our children.
