Who We Are

Market FiftyFour: Online Bookshop and Publisher of African Literature

 

MarketFiftyFour is an online bookshop and publisher dedicated to promoting African storytelling through Ebooks, Audiobooks, and Paperbacks. We publish works from talented writers in the diaspora and the African continent.

Our commitment to preserving African languages and promoting African literature is what sets us apart. With a lack of available new books in African languages, millions of Africans are unable to access new literature, and thousands of African storytellers remain undiscovered. At MarketFiftyFour, we aim to change that.

As a black-owned business, we take pride in our commitment to promoting African storytelling. For more information on our business, interview requests, or media kits, please contact us at info@marketfiftyfour.com.
