We Will Walk With You

Who We are

AUTHORPEDIA is the publishing arm of WORDS RHYMES & RHYTHM LTD. (RC 1234112), a Nigerian book publishing company and educational institution. We offer customized publishing services and actively engage in promoting Nigerian literature and supporting young literary talents through our literary initiatives.

Operating from Ibadan, Lagos and Abuja, our strong social-service culture and active engagement of the Nigerian audience has seen us grow into a company that is rapidly changing the Nigerian literature landscape. We are committed to maintaining this culture.

WORDS RHYMES & RHYTHM began in August 2012 (and later incorporated in 2015) as a Facebook-based community of writers, helping each other grow through peer-review activities. That culture of ‘helping each other grow’ has become our strength, as we actively promote Nigerian writing, acting as a support base for young Nigerian writers. It is the reason we design and price our services with a bias for young, previously unpublished writers.

To be a Top Performing and Innovative Publishing Company in Nigeria

We have a mission to continuously deliver value in the Nigerian publishing industry by:

  • Providing world class publishing services that satisfy the needs of our customers

  • Being active in author/writing development and promotion

  • Conducting our business in an ethical and economically responsible manner

Publishing Nigeria, one book at a time

As a publishing company, we offer a unique self-publishing service we call AUTHOR-ASSISTED PUBLISHING at competitive rates. This service guarantees standard traditional publishing style services for a fee.

We are, however, more than just a publishing company. We also discover, develop and promote young literary talents through several youth-targeted corporate social responsibility initiatives, which include writing competitions, awards, free publishing platforms and other recreational activities.

Our core activities, geared towards the realization of our vision of vibrant Nigerian literary industry in the global picture.

Books are important because they are essential to the existence of an open and intelligent society as well as the storage and communication of our intellectual properties. I believe that every human has at least one book inside them and Authorpedia exists to help birth those books.
