We write right and turn words into worlds...
We turn writers into published authors.
Pen & Pad Arts Publishers — PAPA — is committed to the promotion and preservation of literary and creative excellence. As the name suggests, PAPA is the father of them all in the publishing industry.
Our mandate is to uphold the rich diversity of African culture in particular and global human heritage generally. We are home to an array of seasoned professionals who truly understand the art and science of the writing process.
Since our inception on 1st March, 2022, PAPA has been actively involved in promoting the reading and writing cultures, primarily through our vibrant online platforms. Beyond mere publishing, we provide a comfortable haven to established writers and a powerful voice to emerging authors seeking artistic self-discovery and actualisation.
"We understand the writing process and are ready to take your hand and walk with you — from idea conception all the way to your book launch and beyond."
