The African Publishing revolution is here.
What does that even mean?
Have you ever been frustrated as a writer because your hard work earns you little to nothing?
Are you a talented, hardworking writer who pours passion into every word but still struggles to make ends meet? You’ve published on Amazon and other platforms, only to see little impact on your bank account.
Here’s the hard truth: Amazon is not designed for African authors. Don’t be swayed by the hype from those who claim you can make a fortune on Amazon. The reality is Amazon doesn’t prioritize African authors. They don’t accept our local banks for payment, they take a whopping 60% of your royalties, and they can shut down your account without warning.
Platforms like Amazon KDP often overlook the unique challenges African authors face, such as cross-border payment issues, steep royalty deductions, and unfavorable terms that leave us short-changed.
And what about our local publishing platforms?
Many wondered why platforms like OkadaBooks struggled despite their early success. The answer is simple: they failed to generate real value for authors. Books were either given away for free or sold at ridiculously low prices, leaving authors without meaningful earnings.
These platforms targeted the wrong consumer audience — Africans like themselves. While many Africans love to read, there’s a significant challenge: readers expect free books and are unwilling to pay premium prices.
Sadly, most readers in Africa can’t afford to pay what a well-crafted book is truly worth.
No wonder African authors are frustrated.
So, is there a way out for African writers?
Yes, there is. Enter ITAN
ITAN is an innovative author marketplace built to empower authors of African descent by connecting their works to a global, paying audience. Yes, you read that right — a paying audience. It’s time for authors to start earning what they deserve.
Founded by an author and publisher who understands the struggles of the publishing world, ITAN is the solution to the failings of existing systems. It was born out of the frustration of seeing talented African authors unfulfilled and underpaid.
ITAN is introducing a new publishing model that will uplift African authors no matter where they are in the world. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, AI, and advanced marketing strategies, we’ll showcase African books to a global audience willing to pay the right price.
Our mission is to present African literature in multiple languages and formats, making them accessible to book lovers in Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond. Through these efforts, we aim to democratize success and produce a new wave of African millionaire authors with bestselling books.
For the first time, ITAN authors will earn what they truly deserve. Those who have dedicated themselves to creating exceptional works will finally be rewarded for their efforts.
