PUBLISHING ACTIVITY

eKitabu — from “Kitabu,” meaning book in Swahili (???? in Arabic, ????? in Hindi) — is a Kenyan, Rwandan, Malawian, and US company founded and headquartered in Nairobi. Through its publishing imprints, Mvua Press and Maua Books, eKitabu champions African stories for both children and adults in print and digital formats. Mvua Press publishes bold, diverse voices for adult readers, while Maua Books nurtures vibrant, inclusive literature for children — stories that reflect the richness of Africa’s cultures, languages, and imagination. Together, the two imprints showcase the best African writing across generations, from literary giants of the past to today’s trailblazers. We welcome collaboration with publishers everywhere who share our passion for bringing African stories to readers around the world.
