Services
Our three divisions serve independent authors, universities, NGOs and institutions with the same standards we apply to our own list.
From ISBN registration to offset and print-on-demand production, we take finished manuscripts to beautifully made books — and put them in bookshops, libraries and online stores.
Literary and academic translation between Somali, English and Arabic, with structural editing, copy-editing and proofreading by specialist editors who respect an author’s voice.
Cover design, typesetting and interior layout crafted to international standards, followed by rigorous final proofing so every page is ready for print.
How it works
Whether you are publishing with us or commissioning a service, every project follows a transparent, well-managed process.
Send a synopsis, a sample of your manuscript and a short biography through our submission form.
Our editorial board reads every submission and responds with a decision or a detailed reader’s report.
You work with a dedicated editor, then our designers create the cover and typeset the interior.
We print, register and distribute your book, and support its launch to readers and the press.
