About Us
Ikike Arts is a brand that serves as a lighthouse to all writers and readers of African literature.
This is achieved by championing conversations and creating avenues to promote African literature.
The Journey
Our Story
Journey of a vision
From the impactful days of Poemify Publishers to the profundity of Direwords Publishers, over the years, both brands forged a union to help young writers find their voice, get published, refine their message, and impact lives.
We also spotlight opportunities and events open to writers and literary enthusiasts. The name, “Ikike,” is derived from the Igbo word for “Authority.”
