Write Your Book
You carry stories, knowledge and experience that nobody else has in quite the same way. This page is your invitation to stop carrying that book in your head and start bringing it onto the page.
Why Your Story Matters
There is no shortage of talent in Ethiopia and across the Habesha diaspora. Teachers, entrepreneurs, community leaders and creatives already shape lives every day. What is often missing is a simple path from "I have something to share" to "here is my book."

Preserve Your Legacy
Capture stories and wisdom that would otherwise fade with time. Your experiences become a lasting resource for future generations.
Extend Your Reach
Reach people beyond your classroom, office or neighbourhood. A book travels where you cannot always go.
Create Tangible Impact
Create something your children, students or community can hold in their hands. Nonfiction and children's books teach, comfort and guide.
Your Book Can Build Real-World Credibility
For professionals, a book is more than a dream. It is a strategic asset.
💼 Professional credibility through authorship
Publishing even one good nonfiction book can:
- ✓Position you as a recognised authority in your field
- ✓Open doors to speaking invitations, consulting work and media opportunities
- ✓Help you attract better clients and collaborations
- ✓Support new income streams such as workshops, courses or training programs
When people introduce you as "the author of…", it carries a different weight from any job title. A book proves that you know your subject well enough to explain it clearly and stand behind it in public.
Who This Page Is For
This page is for you if any of these sound familiar:
I have years of experience, but nothing written down that represents it.
I tell my children or students the same stories again and again. They always ask for more.
People often say, 'You should write a book about that.'
I want to help others avoid the mistakes I made.
I want my work, research or life story to outlive me.

Common Fears About Writing a Book
"I am not a real writer."
Most authors start exactly where you are. Writing is a skill that improves with guidance, feedback and practice. Editors and coaches exist to support the parts that are difficult.
"My idea is not new enough."
Readers do not only want new ideas. They want trusted guides who understand their context. Your combination of culture, language, story and experience is already unique. The goal is not to say something no one has ever said. The goal is to say something true in a way your readers can finally hear.
"I am too busy."
Many professionals who eventually publish their book do it in small, steady steps: one focused writing session a week, one chapter at a time. Some choose collaborative writing or ghostwriting support so they can talk and outline while someone else shapes the text.
