Dear Africans and book lovers, We have a bold and massive goal with @iZwily. Our goal is to ensure that over 50% of books sold in African bookstores are written by African authors — within the next 5 to 10 years. Many people don’t believe in this goal. That’s fine. Most doubters are from traditional publishing and are employed. We see the world differently. Bless AI. Thanks to @bulabuka Publishers, we’ve proven that our people want to read. The real issue is that 70% of books currently found in African bookstores are by non-African authors. I started my journey as a publisher by angel investing in a book genre called Diary Chronicles. We proudly pioneered that genre. However, our funds couldn’t stretch far enough. So, we’ve innovated through @iZwily to make publishing and distributing books to bookstores much easier. We’ve started building our introductory product, which will launch in a few months. Where will we get the books? We already know where. They are there. Also, a lot more are being written every day. I feel renewed and excited by this momentous venture. Books are the future of filmmaking. AI is making movie production simpler, cheaper, and quicker. By 2035, I believe Africans will be able to turn a book into a movie in just 60 to 90 days. I’ll talk to you later about this.
