Welcome To Habesha Press
There is no shortage of talent in Ethiopia and across the Habesha diaspora. Teachers, parents, storytellers, and creatives carry powerful stories that deserve to be read. Yet for many, turning those stories into a professional, published book still feels confusing, expensive, and out of reach.
Habesha Press exists to change that. We are an author-focused publishing house dedicated to helping Ethiopian and Habesha writers bring their books to life with care, cultural respect, and professional standards. From the first draft to holding a printed copy in your hands, we support you through editing, design, and self-publishing on platforms such as Amazon KDP so your stories can reach readers at home and around the world.

Why Should You Hire Our Services?
Because Habesha Press is an independent self-publishing company driven by a team of responsible, dedicated, self-motivated professionals. We at Habesha Press will make sure to preserve every single intuitive idea, developing it into an amazing story to be etched into the memory of readers for generations to come.
Proofreading
At Habesha Press, every manuscript is proofread by experienced editors. We catch errors, smooth out clumsy lines, and polish your writing so it's clear, consistent, and professional. Excellence on the page is our standard.
Ghostwriting
You have a story worth sharing, even if you don't have time to write it. Habesha Press offers both full ghostwriting and collaborative writing, so we can either write the book for you or work alongside you to bring your story to life.
Editing
Our editors do more than fix typos. They tighten your sentences, sharpen your word choice, and smooth the flow of your story so it reads clear, confident, and professional—page after page.
What We Offer (Pilot Stage)
We're starting small, focusing on the things that matter most to first-time authors.
- Guidance on preparing your manuscript for publication
- Advice on book size, layout, and illustration for children's books
- Support with Amazon KDP setup (paperback and Kindle)
- Help with pricing, categories, and keywords so your book can be found
In time, we aim to build a community of Habesha authors and offer more structured services, resources, and training.
For Authors
Habesha Press is especially for:
- Authors in Ethiopia writing in Amharic, English, or both
- Habesha writers in the diaspora
- Educators and storytellers who want to turn their stories into books
