Parrésia Publishers Ltd

Parrésia Publishers Ltd Your words . . . in Trust We Love Books!!! We are a publishing company based in Lagos, Nigeria with an African outlook.

Parresia Publishers Ltd comprises two imprints--a traditional publishing Parresia Books imprint and a specialised-service Origami Books imprint.

“…It takes the most personal dreaming, where self and context become one, for an artist to speak out his most intimate words. But even more than this speaking is writing, which summons up the very last draft of confidence in the human spirit—the certaint

y, as far as can be surmised, that one has got an important contribution to the human story. It is for this that writers embody the very best of human beings—it is for this that writers are well considered heroes. Yet heroes need a background in which to act out their redemptive deeds and this at last states clearly the purpose of Parresia Publishers Ltd—to be a background that makes possible the literary heroes of the future of Nigeria.” - Richard Ali, Co-founder of Parrésia Publishers.

This week on our Author Spotlight, we’re thrilled to shine the light on Sylva Nze Ifedigbo — storyteller, essayist, and author of My Mind Is No Longer Here, The Funeral Did Not End, and Whispering Aloud.

From his Anambra roots (where fufu and ogbono soup with goat meat reign supreme 🍲) to his dream of one day winning the Booker Prize, Sylva embodies passion, depth, and a quiet confidence that flows into his writing.

When he’s not crafting fiction or sharp socio-political commentary, you might find him watching football, road-tripping, or dreaming of the Caribbean sun. ☀️

This week’s Author Spotlight is on the brilliant Chio Zoe — fantasy writer and creator of Memory of Stone, published under Parresia’s Origami imprint. ✨

Known for her vivid imagination and storytelling that blurs the lines between myth and emotion, Chio Zoe invites readers into worlds of wonder through books like Verity of Old and Master of Lore. 🌙

In our chat, she shared her love for purple hues, her dream to write fifty books, and her soft spot for bread (especially with beans — no competition 🍞). Her creativity stretches beyond the page — from painting to designing clothes and playing the piano, she’s the true definition of an artist at heart. 💜

Each line pulls you deeper into a world where borders blur, memory lingers, and every story carries the weight of home.
