The Founder

Musa Asubuhi

I founded Wikitabu Publishers in Nairobi in 2017 because I kept meeting people (elders, entrepreneurs, pastors, professionals) whose stories were extraordinary and completely undocumented. Kenya has always been a country of storytellers, but too few of those stories were making it onto a printed page, bound and preserved the way they deserved to be.

Wikitabu exists to close that gap. We built our Concept-to-Print model so that an author never has to navigate editorial, design, and printing as three separate vendors. We carry the whole pipeline, end to end, so the author can focus on the story itself. And from day one, the commercial principle has been non-negotiable: authors pay Wikitabu for the service of publishing, and keep 100% of whatever their book earns afterward. We are a publishing house, not a rights holder.

Wikitabu is still a small, hands-on team by design. I'm supported by Naomi Maina, who leads people and coordination at Wikitabu, and by a team of professionals who understand their craft, from editing and design to layout and print production, brought in at the right stage of every project.
