“We are building the leading global digital storytelling platform — originating from Africa.”

Africa publishes more than the world reads. Every week, somewhere between Lagos and Nairobi and Accra, a writer finishes a chapter that will never reach a reader because the systems that should carry it never showed up. We built Littory because we got tired of waiting for someone else to.

Littory is a library, a publishing house, a book club, and a payout engine — all under one roof, all in one app. Authors keep sixty percent of every sale. Readers pay in naira (or in coins) and find books no other platform is shelving. Book clubs meet in real time, in the chapter you're actually on. The whole thing was designed for the African reading market first; the world comes after.

If you read like reading is what makes you who you are — if you write like you have something to say — we built this for you. We're opening the doors slowly, in batches. Leave us your email below and you'll be first through.

Half Of A Yellow Moon · Ch. 4
Chapter Four
The Garden at Dusk

By the time the second rains began, my grandmother had stopped speaking to the radio. She would sit instead at the edge of the courtyard, her hands folded around a tin of palm oil, and listen for the egret in the cassia tree.

What she had heard, she would never tell us. Only that the bird had begun to sing in two voices — one for the harmattan, one for the coming season — and that it would not stop until somebody answered back.

I was eleven the year I tried. I climbed the cassia at midnight with a length of twine and the small clay drum my brother had—

§ Section IIIFor the people who write

Authors who chose Littory before Littory was even open.

We've been working with a small group of writers from across the continent during the closed beta. Here is what they told us, mostly unprompted, mostly in voice notes.

I wrote three novels nobody published. Littory put my serial in front of seven thousand readers in a week.
