The distribution channel of Nigeria’s Publiseer has been expanded with the addition of Romania’s very first subscription mobile reading app for ebooks and audiobooks, Voxa.
Voxa joined Publiseer’s list of distribution partner stores, giving room for subscribers to have a wide range of books to access and through the new partnership, the Nigerian firm hopes to provide Voxa titles from independent writers from the African continent.
The ebook market in Romania serves over two million readers, which is valued at over $63 million, with a 7 per cent annual growth rate.
“We are all so excited at Publiseer to have Voxa in our distribution channel and bringing such a huge opportunity to our authors,” the co-founder and CEO of Publiseer, Mr Chidi Nwaogu, stated.
“Throughout the year, we’ve been working very hard to expand our distribution network. We’ve partnered with Libri, Dreame, iReader, and now, Voxa and in the future, more would be added,” he further said.
“For authors whose ebooks and audiobooks are already in our catalogue, we will automatically distribute them to Voxa. So, no further action is required from their end.
“However, those who don’t wish for their content to be distributed to Voxa, can simply reach out to us stating this, and they won’t be added to Voxa,” the Head of Content Review and Distribution at Publiseer, Mr Dapo Ogundipe, explained.
Publiseer is a digital content distribution company that lets independent African writers distribute and monetize their ebooks and audiobooks across hundreds of online retailers worldwide.
The company also helps its writers protect their creative works from intellectual property theft and illegal distribution.
As of writing, its services are available to African writers whose works are written in either English or French.
