Bringing Honour, Prestige and Colour to African Publishing!
At Kente Publishing we believe in stories that are profoundly African. We liken our stories to the Kente cloth – ceremonial garment of the powerful Ashanti Chiefs of Ghana. The Kente cloth brings honour, is prestigious and never ceases to bring colour to an auspicious occasion.

Kente Publishing... bringing honour, prestige and colour to African Publishing!
Glad to hear there's someone just as excited! If you're an English lit major, you've probably read 'Things Fall Apart' but if you're not one of those bookworms, get it fast! Also, I enjoyed Tricia Nwaubani's 'I do not come to you by chance" - its about 419 scammers and utterly hilarious. Now Chimamanda's books are also all the rage: Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus. For up to date reading, how about trying the 2011 Commonwealth Writers Prize Winner: Memories of Love by Aminatta Forna? Let us know how you do with these suggestions!
It's about time! Can you give me some stories/ideas of some good African stories out there?
