Parrésia Publishers Ltd. is an award-winning publisher focused on bringing books of literary, cultural, professional and public interest to readers. Its list encompasses fiction alongside works on African arts and letters, maritime development, diplomacy, health systems, energy and technology. Recent publishing activity includes Akin Adesokan’s South Side, a novel concerned with identity, displacement and belonging, as well as practical writing on artificial intelligence for education, work and everyday problem-solving. The company’s publishing programme connects Nigerian and African narratives with subjects that engage academic, policy, professional and general audiences.

Origami Books operates as its specialised imprint for authors seeking a personalised publishing arrangement. The imprint accepts manuscripts across genres and gives authors control over the publishing process, complemented by marketing and distribution services. Parrésia’s founders frame their work around strengthening a sustainable publishing business in Nigeria and expanding the circulation of books among readers who value compelling stories and informed ideas. Active promotion and distribution form an integral part of that model, intended to carry published titles beyond production and into sustained readership.
