Publishing partnerships

A publishing team behind your book.

If you want more than self-publishing, pitch us your manuscript. We can work with you on editing, design, marketing and publishing, with the cost and the revenue shared between us.

What the team does

Like a traditional publishing house

Editing

Careful editing of your manuscript so the story reads the way you meant it.

Cover and book design

A cover and interior layout that suit your book.

Amazon publishing

Publishing your book on Amazon, alongside Itanile Reader.

Marketing and promotion

Promotion to help your book find its readers.

Itanile Reader

Your book is sold and read through Itanile Reader.

A written agreement

Costs, responsibilities and revenue split set out before work starts.

The model

Shared cost, shared revenue

We work out the initial cost of getting your book edited, designed, published and promoted. You contribute part of it. Itanile’s team carries the rest, paid back through an upfront deposit and a portion of royalties.

The share of the cost each side carries sets the share of the revenue each side keeps. For example, if the initial cost is ₦1,000,000 and you contribute half, you keep half of the revenue. That is only an illustration.

This model is still evolving, and every book is different, so the terms are agreed with you in writing before anything starts.

For creatives

Do you offer these skills yourself?

Editors, illustrators, designers, translators and marketers: if you would like to work with Itanile authors, tell us what you do. We will keep you in mind as projects come up.
