Manqa Books is an independent publisher. We publish valuable literary and analytical voices from our networks in Kenya, East Africa, and beyond.
‘Manqa’ is a word invented years ago by two imaginative youngsters, and as such represents uniqueness and creativity. In the East African Afar language, manqa means ‘pride’. Manqa Books celebrates place, culture, and the human experience.
Manqa Books takes great care in professionally transforming manuscripts into finished books through a meticulous editing and design process. We are a small outfit and use digital printing – this enables us to ensure first-rate printing and quality control. Our titles are available on Amazon and in select bookshops.
Manqa Books is a passion project and is not motivated by profit or growth.
