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.
