African authors are gaining greater access to global audiences through the work of Harmony Publishing, a company helping writers turn their manuscripts into professionally published books. Founded in 2016 by Chukwuma Okeke, the publishing firm has grown from a small start-up into a key player in the self-publishing industry.
Suleiman shared the motivation behind creating the company: “From the very beginning, our goal was simple. We wanted to help African authors navigate the world of self-publishing with ease and affordability.”
What began with a focus on editing and formatting has expanded to include book cover design, ISBN registration, audiobook production, and global distribution. This broad service offering ensures that authors have the tools they need to compete in a global market.
The company was established with a clear goal: to support African writers, particularly from underrepresented communities, in publishing their work professionally. Harmony Publishing offers a wide range of services that cover everything from manuscript editing to global book distribution.
In 2023, the company took a significant step towards global expansion by opening an office in the United States. This move allowed Harmony Publishing to better serve international clients and broaden its reach. As of now, the company manages over 500 titles and has a growing international presence.
A key development in Harmony Publishing’s journey was the launch of a quarterly magazine. This publication offers advice, marketing tips, and success stories for self-published authors. It has become an important resource for Harmony’s growing community of writers.
In addition to the magazine, the company has built an online platform to assist authors in promoting their books. The platform provides a range of tools designed to increase visibility and help authors connect with readers around the world. Harmony Publishing’s commitment goes beyond just publishing, aiming to help authors build long-term careers.
Today, Harmony Publishing represents a rising force in the African literary world. The company’s mission remains focused on providing African authors with the resources and visibility needed to succeed in self-publishing. With its track record of success and dedication to inclusivity, Harmony Publishing is set to play a more significant role in the future of African literature.
