What we do
A full-service publisher.
Most presses hand you a box of books. We take the manuscript through editorial, production, a national launch, and onto shelves — then report and pay out on what sells.
Mass production
Full press run at a 1,000-copy MOQ. High-grade paper, thread-sewn or perfect binding, gloss/matt lamination, batch-tested for a zero defect rate.
Book launch
Venue sourcing and stage branding, VIP invitations, press releases, media bookings, and an on-site sales and author signing desk.
Distribution
Ghana's major bookshops plus Amazon US/UK and online storefronts — on a transparent revenue-share model with half-yearly royalty reporting.
Packages

Every package carries a book from manuscript to finished copy. The tier sets how much editorial and design attention it receives along the way.

Prices are quoted at signing. Manuscripts over 50,000 words carry a proportionate uplift — confirmed in writing before any work begins.
How pricing works
No fixed menu, because no two books are alike. Every quote is built from what your manuscript actually needs — and you see it in writing before anything starts.
-
You pick a tier, we quote the manuscript
The quote reflects your tier and the size of the work — longer manuscripts take proportionately more editing, indexing and layout.
-
Production and launch
Printing is quoted on stock, binding and run size; the launch is scoped to the event you actually want. You take only what you need.
-
Distribution earns as it sells
Distribution is arranged across the bookshops and online channels that suit your title. No upfront fee — an agreed share of sales, with statements showing units sold and royalties paid on a regular schedule.
Good to know: quotes are issued in USD and settled in cedis at the prevailing rate, and each stage is settled before it begins — nothing is billed in arrears.

About us
Where Africa’s story goes on record.
DigiBooks Ghana Ltd. is a second-generation family publishing house, founded in 2006 by Fred Awuku Labi and Ama Labi in Sakumono, Tema. For two decades we have turned manuscripts into books of national consequence — the memoirs of statesmen, the biographies of nation-builders, and the scholarship that shapes how Africa understands itself.
With more than 80 publications to our name, our catalogue reads like a chronicle of Ghana’s public life. Notable titles include Kwamena Ahwoi’s Working with Rawlings, General Acheampong, Death of an Empire, and What I Choose to Remember. Each reflects the same conviction — that African stories deserve world-class production, and that the knowledge of one generation should be made simple, beautiful, and permanent for the next.
Today, the founding family’s second generation carries the house forward: same editorial rigour, new digital reach.
