Imprints

eKitabu publishes and distributes African literature for children, young adults and adult readers in print, ebook and audiobook formats. Through our imprints — Mvua Press, Maua Books, Prix de l’édition jeunesse africaine and Books In Africa — we work with African authors, illustrators and translators to bring new fiction, poetry and children’s storybooks to readers across Kenya, Rwanda, Malawi and beyond. Every title is produced to accessible publishing standards — including EPUB, Kenyan Sign Language editions and braille-ready formats — so that deaf, blind and print-disabled readers can enjoy the same books as everyone else. Browse our catalogue to buy African books online, in English, Kiswahili, French and Kenyan mother-tongue languages.
