Writers Afrika Network (W.A.N) is a Pan-African creative agency dedicated to helping authors, storytellers, and thought leaders transform their ideas into professionally published books and impactful media.
Founded in Nairobi, Kenya in 2024, WAN was birthed from a deep desire to amplify African and African diaspora voices and bridge the gap between raw talent and global storytelling standards. We believe that Africa’s stories are as diverse, powerful, and beautiful as the continent itself — and they deserve to be told with excellence.
Our tagline, “We are Afrika. We are WAN”, carries multiple layers of meaning. In the Luo language, wan translates to “us” — a celebration of community and togetherness. It’s also a wordplay on the English word “one”, symbolising unity, collaboration, and the philosophy of Ubuntu: I am because we are. This embodies both our name and our mission — to stand as one with storytellers across the continent, creating narratives that connect, inspire, and transform.
We walk with our clients from story to spotlight. Whether you are an emerging writer with a dream or a seasoned professional with a message to share, our role is to ensure that your voice is heard, your story is refined, and your work reaches the audiences it was meant for.
Our services span the entire creative journey:
Ghostwriting & Editing – turning concepts into compelling manuscripts that meet international standards while preserving your unique voice.
Publishing Solutions – guiding authors through layout, printing, ISBN registration, and distribution.
Media Production – producing high-quality visuals, book trailers, and multimedia content to enhance visibility and engagement.
Launch & Event Planning– curating impactful book launches, literary events, and brand experiences that connect you with your audience.
At W.A.N, we are more than a service provider — we are a partner in your creative journey, committed to celebrating and elevating African narratives. Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower storytellers to create work that inspires, educates, and transforms, while showcasing Africa’s rich literary and cultural heritage to the world.
