Lagos, Jan. 25, 2024 – Litireso Africa, the pioneering platform connecting authors and readers across the African continent, is excited to announce its recent acquisition by new owners. This development marks a significant step in supporting and expanding the innovative digital publishing startup.
Founded in 2019 by Temitayo Fadojutimi, Litireso Africa quickly became a key player in promoting African literature and supporting authors in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and beyond. The platform’s intuitive self-publishing features, efficient e-commerce system, and widespread distribution network have significantly contributed to democratizing publishing and enhancing the availability of works by African writers.
Temitayo Fadojutimi, the founder, stated, “Litireso was born out of a desire to uplift African storytelling and provide economic opportunities for authors. Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between talented writers and their potential readers.”
Litireso has been recognized for its innovative approach, receiving support from organizations like Flutterwave and AWS. It gained international acclaim at events like the Ghana International Book Fair in August 2022, highlighting its role in transforming the literary landscape.
The acquisition offers an opportunity for Litireso to continue its journey as an independent publishing platform. The new ownership is committed to maintaining and enhancing Litireso’s digital services, focusing on operational efficiencies and strategic growth.
The new owners, set to reveal their identity in due course, are dedicated to fostering the platform’s vision. They aim to ensure that Litireso remains a cornerstone in the promotion of African literature, both locally and globally.
This collaboration is expected to sustain and amplify the impact of African storytelling for years to come. Litireso looks forward to its next chapter in making African literature more accessible and celebrated worldwide.
