- Cassava Republic Press
Cassava Republic Press is obsessed with changing the way people think about fiction. Cassava Republic strongly believes that contemporary African writing should be rooted in African experience in all its diversity whether set in filthy-yet-sexy mega cities such as Lagos, in little-known rural communities, in the recent past or indeed the near future. They also think the time has come to build a new body of African writing that links writers across different time and spaces, following the marvelous example of the African Writers Series in the past.
Cassava Republic Press is based in Abuja, which is a bit like the English town Milton Keynes but set in the tropics. It’s a great place to be, with a modern infrastructure, gorgeous landscapes outside the city and all corners of the continent only a few hours flight away.
The design bible Monocle Magazine, listed Cassava Republic Press as one of the top ten brands to look out for in 2009.

Where is Paressia Books?

For me, the top three publishers when it comes to fiction are:
1. Cassava Republic

2. Farafina

3. Paressia

I dream of being published by Cassava Republic and I'm working towards it.
